Default Cibies installed, and some thoughts.

First a pic of the finished project.

Heres how to correctly wire up the citi light. I then wrapped it in electricle tape. I only connected the dark brown wire which caused my front turn signals not to work. So I connected the light brown wire, which caused the citi light and the tail light to blink very quickly. SO i figured I better hook them both up together, and wala, back to properly working.

When I flick on my high beams my digi dash flashes like I just turned the car on. And my "turn on headlights" symbol works now, but only when the p-lights are on. Havn't gotten a chance to check that out in the daylite yet.

Overall im happy with the install and the experience. I still need to tidy up the wiring a bit, and im gonne get a sautering iron to make my connections stronger.

Thanks to those who gave me some insight and to Huw's website.

Default Looks great - suggestion:

Get clear turn signal bulbs. It's a good look with the Euros.

Default the extra draw of power while idling makes the digi flash

when im driving it, and flick the high beams it doesn't mess with the digi. While parked it does. It may also be a week groung. Im having some problems with the factory location. Had the same problem with my hellas. Im gonna find a good spot on the frame.
