CarSolution - Folding Mirrors upon Locking, Light Show, eShift, and more.
 
Just stumbled upon a couple of products which some of you may be interested in: http://shop.strato.de/epages/6141670...jectID=2306932

some interesting products are the eLight, which you can program each of your individual lamps in sequence, very nifty.

the eKombi, which tells you various stats such as speed, oil temperature, etc (although there is the Hidden MID method which can do this as well)

and what had been discussed many times, the folding mirrors upon locking.

found most of this stuff on European Auto Source as well: http://www.europeanautosource.com/in...1eb8bd2349c8ef

anyone care to share any experience with these products? :)

That HID was flashing on and off. Can't be good lol.

Looks cool, but it'd be nice if you could disable the yellow turn signal lamps that light up with the low beams as part of the US requirements, without losing turn signal functionality. It'd also be nice if it could activate rear foglamps.

That's what I would like to do also. I've though about blocking one of the contact points on the front bulbs, but that would probably 'cause a bulb-out warning.

is there a wire that feeds power when the lights are on? in that case could you just clip that?>

This is actually some very cool stuff that I never heard of before. Has anyone installed any of them? Since they seem to be i-bus based I wonder it KiwiJochen might shed some light on all this?

Well the front bulbs have 2 contacts. one for parking lights and the other for flashing. I'm sure you could clip one, but that woulld probably result in a constant bulb-out warning.

That looks very neat. I'd Like to try that.

there has to be some sort of end you put on that wire, to trick the car or complete the circuit.:dunno: Any electrical guys out there?
