RE: Euro Lights
Greg,
Those aren't PARKING lights in the fender but are simple side
marker lights. They come on with the parking lights but the actual
parking light in the pre-85 models is in the bumper and shares blinker
duty. on the 85+ cars the they got rid of it for some reason.
But, in answer to your question, the H4/H1's dont have a parking
light per say but they do have city lights. These are a 5-watt Bayonet
Base Bulb that goes in the main reflector housing and come on with the
parking lights to cast an yellow glow. With lights on you dont notice
them. Not sure legally if this is a problem but I know many of us that do
this conversion just run without parking lights.
If you want you can add a wire to the connector in ;your blinker
and make it do double duty as long as you have an amber bulb or lens. Of
As for the side marker lights. I kind of like them as they make
you more visible from the side so I'm keeping mine in place on my 84' with
one 85 fender. IE...I'm drilling the 85' rather than patching the 84'
fender up. :-) Its really up to you.
BTW...Dont forget to relay the lights before you put them in. L8R
