A couple of lighting questions

Siciliano611 · 10-18-2007, 04:40 PM

1. I noticed that one time when I turned my 335 coupe on (I think the switch was on auto) that the yellowish inner headlights came on (not the HID projector). Only the drivers side one was on though, and then eventually it went off. What function turns on or off the lights next to the HID lights (the inner lights closer to the center of the hood. I would rather never have these on and it looked like 1 of them was dead because only one came on.

2. I switched my Angel eye bulbs (H8) to the 8500k GP Thunders and noticed that when I have DRL's only on they look amazing and very white, yet when the switch is on auto it seems that the angel eyes are much more yellowish looking and not as powerful. Any idea why when only the DRL's are on they look way better and more white?

thanks

1) The inside lights are turning lights. They come on when you turn the wheel more than x degrees. (I think it's 35)
2) Do you mean with the headlights on or off?

I mean if the headlights are off and the switch is in the 0 position with DRL enabled the angel eyes look AMAZING and white as hell, but for instance when I go outside to unlock the car and the angel eyes come on for 10-15 secs they look way more yellowish even though I have GP Thunder bulbs in. Also at night the angel eyes look more yellowish if the headlights are also on than if for instance the switch is on 0 with just the DRL's enabled as the angel eyes....strange
