question about wiring up city lights...
<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/59187/city_light_diagram11.jpg">
where do you buy this relay piece? how much? guy below asking about headlight upgrades makes me kind of want to hook up the city lights now since i've got them... might as well use them, no?

and maybe it's just cause i'm an r-tard but this looks semi confusing to me...
it'd probably make sense if i had the part in front of me, i wired up the ecodes myself, and it can't be any harder than that right?

this is a standard relay...
you can find this at any rice shop/alarm place.
I use the relay to turn off my city lights when I turn on my low beam, as how they set up in europe.

i think that's how i want it
first click i want just city lights on(and tails too obviously), no corners.
second click up i want low beams & corner lights, no cities. then high beams obviously just add high beam to that, no cities.
so this is the setup you have right? how much was the relay? and it's pretty simple huh?

that's excatly how mine's are set up
no parking light (by removing one of the electrical contacts in the bulb socket)
relays are pretty straight forward, I am not EE and I kinda figured it out in about 15 minutes.

you don't have to wire in the relay...
that just makes the city lights shut off when your low beams turn on. You can also just wire them straight to your regular parking lights and go that route. That's what I did... i like how the city lights light up my housings with the low beams on. My mom's s type jag does it... why can't my audi

my low beams get confused for high beams a lot already...
i don't want a second light in there to further the confusion... which is why i wanted to do a relay to make them shut off when the lows come on.
