blue marker lights
Wednesday, November 09, 2005 10:00 PM
is there a way to make the cornor lights light up blue when the headlight knob is turn to the first postion for just the marker light but keep the amber color turn singles and lights with the headlights??? I was wonderin because my M3 mirrors light up blue for the marker lights and have the amber color of the turn singles and i wanted them all to match at like a show or something. So it would be like this, When i turn the knob one click the mirrors and cornor lights would be blue, then when i turn the headlights on they would turn to amber like normal.

Well, if you want the parking lights to light up blue, there is only one way I know of doing it. It will only be blue but when you put the turn signal on, the blue will stay steady and the amber bulb will flash. When you turn on the headlamps the the cornor will be lit blue.

What you need to do is:

Cut the brown wire at the parking lamp connector. Drill a small hole, but big enough to fit about three leds. Solder the positive poles of the leds together. The brown wire will go to the positive pole and you can tap into the black wire for a ground. Now here is the part that you have to experiment with to get the brightness you would perfer. The brightness is determined by resistance. So basiclly, the more resistance, the dimmer the leds are. The less, the brighter. But here is the kicker. You must have resistance in the circuit for it to work. Just play around with it until it looks right to you. Take the leds and kinda stick'em in the hole you drilled and use some clear silicone to put them in place

You can also look at this intall of leds in the cupholder of a colbalt. Basiclly the same thing you are gonna do electricly.

how many leds did you use per side (under dash and under the seat)?

well if you have the stock corners, that are all reflective on the inside, you can wire leds in there, so that when you hit a switch or wire them into the parkinglights(wouldnt do for blue) the whole assembly will light up blue, but will still have the amber turn signal. i would do a switch... so that they arnt on all the time, just when wanted
