Default If you do the city light upgrade....

get the white city light bulbs from TantrumWerks. I have them in my e-codes and they match my HIDs perfect, but I have after-market 6000k lights. If you want I will post pics, I am planning on snapping some pics tomorrow anyways.

I am not sure if you can add city lights to your factory housings? Let me know if you have any questions. Here is the link for the city lights<ul><li><a href="http://www.tantrumwerks.com/">Tantrum Werks City Lights</a></li></ul>

Default wire in bosch relays so the city lights are on when the parking lights are on and turn off otherwise

So they turn off when the headlights are turned on. The amber side lights are off when the parking lights are on and the city lights are on instead, and then once you turn the headlights on the ambers sides come on and the city lights turn off. I did this with my E-codes and it looks pretty sweet, like the true European city lights. You just need to get the two 5-input relays from a local Euro car parts store or maybe radio shack. You can get the ECS kit if you want but you don't really need to becasue you'll need to go to the dealer anyways to get some additional plugs for the back of your housings. Just get all the wires from the dealer. They're cheaper anyways.

Here's the main wiring diagram.

Here's how to wire the relay (courtesy of KH)

You may not be able to tell but only my city lights are on in these pictures...

It looks better when it's a bit darker outside.
