I've never understood why our e46's have the holes for city lights, yet we run DRL's from the high beams. Like, the fuck man?

DRLs are brighter than city lights. City lights are just tiny bulbs. DRLs are just high beams running low wattage. I think city lights look pretty slick when they have an LED with the xenons.

They do the same damn job. USELESS.

Whatever next vehicle I get, I want to put red/blue strobes in the city light holes.

True.

I want amber strobes in the rear and white in the front I've actually thought about it and looked into it

Same as adding angel eyes. Only difference is you would need to drill a hole in the little spot faced area of the headlight housing to insert the bulb.

I already have the hole. It has a removable dummy plug in it. If you did it like angel eyes, they'd be constantly on. You'd have to tap them into the headlights.

Mine didn't have the extra hole.

Add a second normally closed relay that opens the circuit when the low beams turn on.
