Want to sell me your front bumper? :puppy:

No idea yet since the kit is sitting in storage. I have this thing for buying rare/hard to find parts wether I can use it or not. As far as the BBS kit pictured above goes (or the rear euro bumper I have), I need to buy a early model (or two) for it to go on now. It will not work with a late model car... :(

Im so jealous of this build, I have a front euro bumper for my 318, although it isn't in nearly as nice of condition. The thing I don't really like though is the fact that the euro indicators aren't set up for running lights, I've been thinking of a way to make the indicators running lights as well. other than that I'm jealous of all your meticulous parts.1985 M10b18. 70maybewhpoffury.

Thats actually a US kit, but it uses the euro turn signal housings/lenses and the euro fog lights (that I picked up from you) in the front valence...

Yes, euro valance like this here:

Au contraire... I have researched a solution, but haven't had the chance to check if it actually works. Will post details when I have an hour free to throw together a test circuit.

We don't need to have those HUGE side marker lights like in the USA... they have to Federalize their cars... no matter what age.... in Canada, after 15 years, a car will come in how it was originally produced....
I hate when people in the USA state that they have a " Euro " car.... ( no offense... ) after it's been federalized, it's been changed and isn't Euro in my opinion....

I was wondering if euro cars don't need to have the front indicator lights ON at all times and just use the fender lights? But I am not sure...Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

So, with interior/city lights on, turn signal would look like this from outside:
-on----------------off-on-off-on-off-on-off-on----------------
and with interior/city lights off,
-off----------------on-off-on-off-on-off-on-off---------------
This is fairly simple to do, as all you have to do is XOR (exclusive OR) the two light inputs at the plug. Apparently, you can use a two-pole relay as a XOR gate. That's as far as I got before forgetting about it for a while. I think we might have drawn diagrams at each other, too.
