City lights

[az3579]

Does anyone know what needs to be done to get city lights? I've seen some euro models with this, which is a tiny low-wattage bulb placed in the high-beam bowl and I believe is used instead of daytime running lights. How come we don't have this option? Can it easily be retrofitted?

Looks like this: (crappy pic but it's the only one I found of an E46)

I hated having city lights on my GTI. Just saying. It it makes you happy, then I hope its an easy mod

I loooooooooved them on my E30. I didn't have very good looking and good quality angel eye options, so I decided to go with something OEM, and it looked amazing, IMO.

Unfortunately this is the only shot I have of them being on, which makes it seem small, but anyway:



Keith,
The definitely seems like where they would go.

Is that why I have a hole in my high beam bowl?

I read somewhere that only ZKW's have the hole for city lights

That is probably true, because I have ALs and I dont have the hole. My dad's old E46 M3 had Bosch lights and it didnt have the hole either

Fellas, fellas.... you know what I mean.

I would roll yellow bulbs if I had them again, so it would be no big deal. I could rock em.

I think I'm going to try this today. When you turn your daytime running lights on in ncs expert it looks like there's a setting for how bright you'd like them. So I figured if they were on the lowest setting this might have a similar effect.
