    I really like the look, so can you still run the driving lights as well?

    Are you referring to the fog lights? Yes. The fog light bulbs have no problem overpowering the little w5w bulbs and will light up as well as they did stock.

    Alone the w5w's don't really put out any real light pattern....just enough to light up the housing.

    I'm running the yellow nokya fogs which are nice and bright when they're on :Thumbsup:

    Amber Fogs And Parking Lights

    :drool I just ordered my amber H8 front fog lights and my W5W LED equivalent front amber parking lights. All amber forward except for high and low beams which, of course, remain white. See posts above for representative photos.:Thumbsup:

    Amber Fogs And Parking Lights

    :cornut:UPDATE(08 R56 MCS/JCWm) The LED amber front parking light bulbs, apparently, don't draw as much current/amps as the incandescent bulbs(194/W5W) and therefore the computer thinks that they are burned out and displays the 'burned out bulb' symbol on the tach. Now I could use the Crashton/Nathan 'Black Tape' cover up method but, then I wouldn't be able to see any 'idiot lights'. Sooooooooooo it's back to incandescent amber front parking light bulbs. However,the H8 PIAA 'Plasma Ion Yellow' incandescent fog lamps are working great and truly don't reflect back like white bulbs do nor do they blind oncoming traffic. At least, no one's flicking their brights at me and 1/2 of them have their fog lamps(50% white/50% yellow/amber) on with their low beams anyway.
