Default Finally got my city lights working!

Well, as the title says; i got my city lights up and running. Took a little longer than i expected because the previous owner had fucked up most of the headlight wiring. All in all, it took about an hour and a half.



here's a pic of the car for reference:

I would but i forgot to bring my camera . I think my wiring was too fucked up to do a DIY. I would probably just end up confusing people

They're basically like DRL's (Daytime Running Lights). You run them during the day, most cars today come with them standard as a safety precaution so oncoming traffic can see you etc. Unless people are using them for something else, that's my definition.

this is tru. .but i was always under the impression the term "city lights" meant that they were to be used in the city or town areas that are commercialized at nite since the street lights and light from buildings light the street areas up so no need for reg beams. .lol. .but whatever same ****. .green jacket red jacket. .full metal jacket. .expletive im bored!! haha
