Xenon Match Parking Lights

[FinT]

Has anybody replaced their orange parking lights with xenon matched bulbs? Pictures please? (2004+ post facelift)

a better option may be to cover the parking light terminal so they only come on as blinkers.

if it's anything like the e39/e36, it's the easiest mod in the world. take the bulb out and put a piece of electrical tape over the the terminal that is for parking lights. there should be 4 prongs, trial and error to cover the two that are for parking lights and not blinkers.

if it's only 2 wires running to the blinker then there is a much harder way to do it.

Thanks so much. Will an error come up on the dash?

Were you able to disable the parking lights? This was a great mod back in my E36 days.

Paint the bulbs with high heat paint ( silver) like mine you will not see the parking light up
but when it blink it lite up normal.
