Subject: I disabled my corner lights in favor of the european 'City Lamps' Author: absessler : member since February, 2006 : 3410 posts Posted on: 2008-03-21 21:53:27

I did exactly what you said, just cut the wire.

The big difference with you is that you are not going to be replacing them with conventional bulbs. I don't know if the AE's will trip the check message or not.
