    euro bumper trim

    car is a 1991 318is. us spec.

    so in my excitement to install these, i ripped off the oem trim and snapped the euro trim in without even thinking about the running lights. now at night, the running lights still light up behind the trim and you can see light emitting from behind the bumpers.. :hitler:

    wondering if there is one fuse for the running lights that wont affect my turn signals? i really do not feel like having to remove the front and rear bumpers, etc. to fix my dumba$$ mistake.. argh.

    what do you guys do about the running lights after installing the euro trim?

    thanks guys.

    Take the bulbs out of the running lights and tape the sockets up with white electrical tape. I say "white" because black electrical tape tends to melt and get messy.

        I hooked my side marker light wires up to my city lights in my Euro headlights. :D

          uh, why didn't you unplug them? taking off the bumpers isn't a big deal anyway, it's like 2 bolts..
