city lights in headlights

would it be possible to install 194 bulbs for city lights in my headlights like cefiro headlights have??? I think that it is a cool look, and was wondering if anybody has tried installing city lights in stock headlights. Thanks guys.

cefiros have always had them yes you can put them in your stock headlights but your gonna have to drill a hole at the bottom and put it in through there and then wire them up probably to a switch so you dont get harrased by the cops

Yeah and let a cop catch for impersonating, you better get a show car registration for that ("special" I think its called), tickets are really high if you get caught using them.

Right, and the average person in front of you if see these lights flicker on and off will do what? This was played out here in Cleveland, its another reason for them to pull you over.

Why would they flicker on and off? Aren't they wired to the corner lights?

Apparently there is a ricer way to do everything?

We are talking about flashig lights right? If not, I havent eaten yet and my comprehension level is way down right now.

Imagine with me a woman driver ignorant of what police drive seeing a black max, espc. like the one here on the org thats all decked out in S.W.A.T. accessories (no pun intended) with flashing lights right behind her. Will she pull over or not? To my knowledge it has been banned in most cities.

City lights even come on cars from the factory. They dont flash, they are a steady light in the headlight housing that usually come on with the parking lights. I had city lights on my 88 maxima. Not the same light bulbs but they were called "city lights".

Damn!! that looks good! So they serve no purpose, they are just a light accessory. It also seems that they are used to illuminate inside the housings for some kind of effect. I think it looks good, but I wouldnt do it. Stuff gets old over time, you know.

Personally I like the idea of city lights. I didnt want the bulb to be visible so I wired up LEDs and mounted them out of sight in the top of the headlight housing. It got the same effect without the bulb sticking out.

dubbya, thats what im looking to do to my AE headlights. i didnt mean that I wanted flashing lights in my headlights, that would be retarded. I just want city lights that are wired up to my corners, i think it would look sick with my yellow fogs and amber corners on.
