What's the procedure to do the infamous parking light delete mod. I have some time today to swap out some bulbs and I was wondering how to do this. __________________ "Power Rules, Smooth is Fast, Late Brake if you HAVE TO, But Always get the Inside Line.......and Fear No One." | | | 12-11-2005, 05:59 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 | I think that i can help you, but first..

They only blink when you hit the turn signal switch. __________________ "Power Rules, Smooth is Fast, Late Brake if you HAVE TO, But Always get the Inside Line.......and Fear No One." | | | 12-11-2005, 06:27 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Walnut Creek, CA Posts: 642 | Juni, all you need to do is look at the bulb and bulb holder and you will notice two separate contact points. On is for the turn signal, the other for the parking light. Use a small piece of electrical tape and place it over the parking light contact (trial and error 50% chance). That's it. Cheap, easy, and completely reversable. __________________ '95 330ti CS w/sr delete, S50USB30, cams, 24# inj, Conforti SW, Euro HFM, Samco Silicone Intake Boot, BBTB, Euro Oil Cooler, JTD CAI Duct, RE DMS exhaust, RE Tranny mounts, CF Valve Cover, LTW flywheel/Kevlar sprung hub clutch, RE SSK, 3.46 Finned LSD (M6) , M3 tranny, Brembos, RE Wheel Studs, SS brake/clutch lines, CF interior, Rear Headrest retrofit, Tilt Steering retrofit, 13.5 lb DynaBatt in rear, LED interior/footwell lights, ZKW HID, Headlight Aim Control, Rear fog light w/cluster indicator, CF 3 Aux gauge pod, BMW Traffic Pro/Alpine MP3-CD Changer, Staggered LTW wheels, '95 M3 steering rack, VIS CF Hood, M3 LTW Strut Bar, TCK SA coilovers, Red LTW Motorsport Seatbelts, OEM Fire Extinguisher, Z8 Starter button, Auto dim rear view mirror w/ Homelink/Compass, PDC, Rear Sun Shade, Euro Gauge Cluster w/oil temp/shift light , Headlight Washers, "Motorsport" Door Handles, CF Grills, French ZKW Fogs, Euro dash bins, Power Lumbar Support is next, Coming e39 M5 interior light, Bimmer Magazine 8/2007 | | | 12-11-2005, 07:59 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Malden, MA Posts: 672 | Thanks Clex2!
