I've thought about the sidemarkers at night and wondered if it a problem, but look at it like this, when you are driving at night and you see oncoming traffic, you rarely ever see their signal lights anyhow cause you're blinded by the lowbeam. And since I drive with lights ON at night, the lowbeams will tell a vehicle that I'm "there", of course. Its just a sleeker look, in my opinion.

Or have the best of both worlds. Turn off the DRLs then wire the AEs to be on when ignition is powered.

Definitely Looks like the most promising bulb swap solution so far! Maybe it's just me, but that pic on the driveway looks more like overcast than true "day light" (aka a sunny day)....its rather dark, and the number of clouds reflected on the front window look to confirm this. I'm optimistic, just not sold on these. ![]() Quote:
Second bold section: The side markers aren't so much for seeing oncoming traffic at a distance (that's what headlights are for) as they are to clearly identify the corner of a vehicle in close proximity.

![]() Basically there's a positive & negative on each side. You keep the negative stock wiring. Just add wiring from the positive of the angel eyes to a power source - in my case to the ECU box under the hood. That's pretty much it!

these are in the US... i had OE euro headlight assemblies on my E39, and there was not a provision for a sidemarker light shining to the side - if you look at the US facelifted E39s, you will see yellow LED shining to the side of the road from the headlight... on euro version, there was not even a place to install yellow, blue or green anything... i did not mess with the headlights of E53, as that car had to be back to the US and the Customs and border would not let the car back in with clear corners and no yellow in the front quaters of the car... once i get the XP machine fixed (waiting on new hard drive, and a set of XP Pro disks, as my back up turned to be Vista), i will try to see if the side turn signal markers can be programmed to be lit at all the times, thus, satisfying the law man!!! |

From my experience, any AE replacement bulbs always look super bright in pics but not in real life. Look at my avatar. Does that look super bright to you? Guess what, in real life they are NOT even close to being that bright.
