Default woo, A4 e-codes are IN! .. now how should I wire them up?

Got them with the SPP group buy. $285 shipped to my door. What an awesome deal that group buy was.

Unfortunately I have to wait 2 weeks until I can put them in (going to Naples with the woman this weekend.. in her car). I've got a set of the hyper bright clear/amber LEDs for the corners as well (courtesy of Mark P).

I'm unsure as to how I want to wire the e-codes.. True european style, ambers+citys when parking lights on, some other way.. Opinions?

I don't plan to upgrade to Xenons anytime soon. Can't bring myself to spend $500 just to get xenons..

Default I don't like the way the LED's look from the front since you can see the individual LED's.

I going to wire mine up to european spec when I get some tap splices.

It depends on what they shipped you?

Default they're OEM euro halogen housings from valeo..

the boxes were sealed from valeo, so nothing aside from what valeo ships. There's a white connector for the corners, I see the city light bulb. Inside the housings is a bunch of wiring and 2 connectors for bulbs. That's all I noticed.

Default don't think so..

If that was something separate to purchase, I didn't. Didn't think I'd necessary need that for anything specific.

AWE sells a "city light wiring kit" for $10 which comes with "all you need to activate your citylights in your euros". Perhaps that is all the adaptors and what not. I'll have to e-mail to find out exactly.

Default this is what the AWE kit has...

Jumper wires, scotchlok connectors, and
instructions.

Default I will take pictures soon, I have just been a little busy.

The European housings and euro turn signal bulbs are keyed differently and it is also a two wire connector instead of a three wire connector like the US.
