    Hey,

    Does anyone know of a way so that when you turn on full headlights, the sidemarker and parking lights turn off?

    Reason is im putting in new mini projectors, and I was thinking it would be nice to upgrade side marker and parking lights to LED as well. Problem is I dont know if I would want brighter amber LEDs at the same time as the new bright mini projectors...

    Are you afraid the turn signals are going to outshine the projectors? Throw some brighter side marker lights in it. The turn signals and the mini projectors serve different purposes. The mini projectors project light forward far down the road where as the turn signals do not so it shouldn't be a problem?

    Yea wouldn't want newer brighter amber LEDs to get all messed up with the mini projectors, not sure if it would look weird or not

    True it might be alright, I'll try it and worse comes to worse I'll return the amber LEDs. Was just wondering if there was a way to turn off or not
