Default **HOW TO: Install City Lights for CTR headlights**
Today I installed city lights into my CTR headlights. I wanted to be able to turn them on and off separately from the headlights/parking lights so I made it possible with an external rocker switch. Here it goes.

City light socket: 34304-SH3-A01 $4.xx
Wiring/fuse/switch/tape/soldering iron/connections/bulbs: $21.67



Here is a wiring diagram I made up quickly



The result

I guess the cities over there are so lighted that headlights are not needed most of the time. They use city lights so other people can see their car. That is just what I've heard. It's more of a bling bling thing for me. Basically, they were there and I had some free time. Plus it cost next to nothing.

I was thining about it. I would probably have to go to a local rice shop to find some. Wally world had blue and red ones. It would be funny as hell to egg some ricer on, get him to race me. Then get behind him and turn on the city lights with one blue and one red.
