Euro headlights
OK i see alot of you have installed euros in your 5000/200's What did you do about the front marker lights? I installed my euros, and 2 days later I got a "fix it" ticket for no front parking lights. I am working on modifying the DOT lights to fit, but was wondering how you did it or if you did.

Re: Euro headlights
Did you install your "city light" bulbs? These basically take the place of your marker lights.
If not, I would have argued that my car didn't come with them. Must be pretty nitpicky constabulary!

Re: Euro headlights
yea city lights are in, but DOT requires amber markers. The cops here are boneheads. I think i have a modded side marker.. will post pics if it works.

Re: Euro headlights
I took my sawsall and trimmed some of the inside plastic off my old amber markers. Now they're held in place by the metal trim and and a little silicone seal. I'll find a way to mount the inside lights later.

Re: I have amber markers
They dont fit in stock configuration. The ambers are actual lights where the silvers are reflectors only. About 1/2 inch difference in mounting depth. I was successful im making up one side, will get a pic posted soon.

I'll post a pic soon too
I don't know how he did it, other than that the car has euros with amber corner markers. I'm a little new to the 5000cs/200, bought my 200q20v on 6 March, but I thought the amber corner markers were just markers with no lights.
