    ok i have a 2007 wrx and i have the little parking lights that are in the top sides of the headlights the ones that you can also turn on with the switch on the steering column even if the headlights are ont on.they are also in the 04/05 models too but in the little round bubble in the top right corner.well i put blue led bulbs in them and now have to worry all the time about cops and have already been pulled over once and dont want the ticket.. i was wondering if anyone is familiar with how to find where those lights are wired into the headlight switch maybe if by some small chance someone might know the colors and where the wires are located i could tap into them and put a switch in between to be able to turn them on and off with the headlights when i please..?

    There's a switch on top of your steering column if you want to simply turn on your parking lights when the car is off. If the car is on, you can select the parking lights on the light knob dongle thing.

    You're the first person Ive heard of being pulled over for them. The ones 10th Street JDM used to sell are a 5LED White (not blue). They look great but there was some inconsistency in quality. That's being worked out right now (and has been for a while now) trying to get the correct (not going to fail in a week) product.
     
  4. He's asking which wire leads to the bulb so that he can put a switch so he can turn them off when the cops are around instead of turning off the whole headlight... Alex... :fawk:

    Tap one of the power wires that goes to the bulb housing... not sure which color ;)

    yeah thAts what i was talking about..and i like the blue ones because they match my car and it looks cool when my car is off and the headlights glow blue..ha ha..but yeah i was wondering how to turn them on and off when i please even with the headlights on..and i was thinking about tapping into the wires on the lights themselves but then i would have to cut both wires and splice them or else if i just did one just one of the lights would turn off..thats why i was looking for someone that knew the main power wire so i can just tap into that instead of two wires if that makes sense..??..
