Hey Blanka looking at ur pics I assume u didnt remove the parker lights? I just got my AEs today and the instructions said to remove the 'daytime lights' which I assume are the parker lights. Im not entirely sure if u removed them or not.. did you?

Haha woops wt I meant was that you've put your parkers back in after installation right? The manual said to take them out and install your angel eyes to the parker lights so they are on all the time. I dunno if im making sense lol. But regardless I reckon the eyes will still look good with/without parker lights installed.

Anyways I read and you said u didnt drill an extra hole and use silicone to seal up the wires, you just ran it through with the other wires.. have u experienced your head lights fogging up yet?

Yep - Me too..... Maybe even next weekend, so I have them in for the Brissie North Coast Cruise.....

Mine are sitting on the shelve begging me every time I walk past them to get the courage to take off the bumper, bake the headlights and try to work out how to wire them to the parkers....

Hope this isnt a dumb question (prob is)... but how do you wire them to the parker lights?? Do you have to break open the wire for the parkers and solder them together??

Oooh cool ok that'll help. Another thought came in my mind when I saw the relfection of my headlights today while i was driving........... When your lights are on, are both rings on despite not being on highbeam?

Yes.... as they're hooked into the parker lights - the way I will connect mine too - both rings will be lit, whenever your parker's are on....

So - When you have your headlights on, you will still see the High Beam ring as a circle in your headlight cluster, and I'd expect a decent glow around the edge along with the low beam light as well....

no the angel eyes dont go brighter if u switch to highbeam, its very hard to see the circle*angel eyes* on the highbeam lights when highbeam is on cos highbeam is so bright
