    Package from MichaelA, "Euro" trim, and reflect pi


    Package



    Installed.

    Parking Lights (notice Euro City Light as well. :pimp: )

    Turn signal on.


    PROBLEM

    SOLUTION



    This was more or less a cheap "test run" to see if I liked Euro trim or not.....and also a way to keep the sidemarker from falling out. Methinks I will be getting a spare red one from DaveCN and then going back to all red.




    Me + reflection + camera = reflection shots.


    Bonus picture....was lucky enough to have the camera in my car, and quick reflects to capture this rare colored 996TT. 8)

    Now with smoked turn signals taken care of, and my debate of euro trim resolved temporarily (going no in favor of $$$)...... next on list:
    1) School
    2) Replace broken driver foglight
    3) School
    4) School
    5) IS lip as $ allows

        haha, yeah, so what? At least I saved up multiple instances of using my car to post in just ONE thread, unlike before.

        btw, Michael was awesome to deal with, and fast shipping, response. The sidemarkers just got back in stock, and are hot, so hurry. 8) Bavarian3 if you didn't know already.

        Did you switch to a single-filament bulb to have the turn signals only work while you are using them, and not stay on? I thought about doing this as well.

              :pimp: hehe, yeah. I was joking with Jamie about doing it and decided what the hell....what's $2 for duct tape.....and you know it will be needed later around the house/appt.

              Thanks again.

              Dan, I was joking around too. Sorry the web doesn't allow for tone of voice.
              How did you mod the parking lights?

                You cover up one of the contacts on the base of the bulb with tape. One's for the parking lights, the other one's for turn signals. Just cover one up and test them, and if it's wrong, cover up the other one.

                "See, we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired."

                      Ta da! You could also remove the wiring behind the signal itself, but this is an easier way.

                          haha.. got no box, lights look exactly the same, and mine only come on when in use.. owned.. badass? Yessir. I had to make 'custom' connectors for my parking lights because I got no connectors with my bumper. Connectors consited of paperclips, soder, and heatshrink. I also used male/female spade connectors so I could take the bumper off quick.. sooooo. pulled the connector out for that constant (parking light)
