Subject: Can I disable the corner parking lights and keep my AE still hooked up? Author: rg0115 as rg0115 (Robert G) : member since May, 2007 : 1190 posts Posted on: 2008-03-21 19:55:10

I installed my Angel eyes and hooked them up directly to my corner parking lights. So they come one once I turn my lights to position 1. I was wondering if I can just disable the corner light, but still keep the power going to the AE and my turn signal I like the look better without the corner. I believe in Europe the corner are only used for the turn signal and don't come on when you turn on the lights or just the fogs. The 5 series with angel eyes also don't have the parking lights on if I am not mistaken

Can this be done, or will I receive faulty light error messages. Without the corners I think the AE will look better. I don't want to hook my AE up to my daytime running light since I want to be able to turn them off. Here is a pictures of how IBhenery help me get them hooked up. Can I just cut one of the wires to permantly disable the corner. I don't care if they don't come on with my lights. I know the euro switch is one option.
