The city lights use 5 watt bulbs. They're pretty to look at when the car is
parked on a dark side street (under a tree) or maybe in a garage, but other
than that, the city lights aren't particularly effective.

Spend your time changing the oil or waxing the car :)

BTW, I switched my city lights (on my S6) with a switch on the dash. Pretty
much just left them on...with the fog lights.

I'm hoping my ecode bixenons have better city lights :)
