I took some pictures of my car with front corner ligh disabled (no fault code in the dashboard and will blink nice and slow like stock), and some home made mod - rear fog light.
Forgot to mention that those are LED 10,000mcd Angel eyes.
got questions about any of these three goodies.. PM me...
Clem... the side marker will stay on like a parking light. However, i can make it so it doesn't stay on either. just diff. options.
Allright.. Here is the DIY for you guys...
Fog lights:
-dig holes where your new bulbs will go into.
-wire to the available spot on the stock hardness. You have to come up with your own crimpiing.. I had mine way.. so it looks stock.
- run wires thru the trunk to the black plastic hose to the trunk. ...Then now you can be creative on how to run it to you rear light.
-Find a 5 volt source (pin 1 and 6). Tap it in there. Voilaa.....
Disabled front corner light: -make sure you do, so that it's reversible.. just incase you have to sell your car.
-switch place of the front signal light and side marker
-Use Power resistor of 20W to wire parallelly to the new side marker. Thus, computer will not display fault code in the dashboard.
Alright.. I think that's everything you need to DIY these mods. I charge people ( a bunch of E46fan.. you know who you are..heheh) a flat 50 bucks to do the installation (materials and stuff included). So if you live in Orange county, or wherever,..bring your car by. I would love to do it for you for free, but time is money. Additionally, I can't do it for free, since there are 100's of you out there wanna get these mods. Also, I need mod for my car too..hehehehe..... .. Pm me if you interested.
