I finally installed my 1st Gen lights.
5K Hid's, Changed Halo's to CCFL, Amber LED's on the top, Also Wired lows to stay on with highs.

Very nice sir, the amber leds make it sooo much better, did you end up using 2 diodes and a capacitor to keep the highs on?

Nope didn't use any diodes and a capacitor. Just the relay to thow power to the lows when the highs are on.
They do flash a little when it switches over.

Youre throwing power back at the ecu without diodes. A 1k cap from radioshack will fix that flicker.

No because the BCM is throwing a relay for the lows in the fuse box under the hood. It would only putting power back to the side of the relay that is not connected when the highs are on.

Mine is a nice even light pattern. Do you have Hid's or regular bulbs?

looks good Brian.

Never thought of it, but it would be pretty cool of somehow you could wire the 3 LEDs and the blinker to blink sequentially like the mustangs. Or just tap them into the blinker to get them to blink with the blinker

I thought about using them with the blinker.
But the probluem is i don't think there is any way to ahve them on as parking lights and blinker.
Because the blinker is just a second circuit in the bulb.
