    I think you missed my point, we are making the same point. It was mentioned above that my high powered halogens are illegal. I was pointing out that so it nearly every other lighting upgrade, but at least my upgrade is not blinding any other drivers, so it isn't doing anyone else harm and improving visibility for me.

    I understand your point and agree. In theory you could install HID's in a regular housing and aim them down where they wouldn't blind others and still throw good light. Not ideal by any means and I don't advocate it but plenty of people on here do it anyway.

    The parking or DTRL? My parking lights only come on when the headlight is on but I can turn the DTRL off if I want

    Parking / marker lights

    DTRL Switchbacks. Yellow in the daytime (although you can mod them to be white if you choose) and white at night. Always yellow when they flash.

    are you running these with a hallogen bulb or do you have LED or HIDs?

    Does yours have the DTRL switch on the stalk that you can turn on and off? I leave my switch on DTRL during the daytime and the marker lights don't come on.
