Sure mate. Would have been a tad awkward releasing a whole lot of projectors in early autumn (still going ahead btw) and wishing you all Happy New year with the new 2018 GT toy line. Glad its out early...

It suits me, spent far too much on the car recently!!

Now that I've had to disconnect my malfunctioning angel eyes, I no longer have front parking lights and won't pass the car registration inspection in Germany. I have thought about alternatives like using the fog lights, installing LED strips, or adding a bulb of some sort into the unused high-beam hole in the lights (my reflector is now painted black, so that may not be a good option any more). But I haven't settled on anything yet.
So, I'm curious - has anyone added back a parking light alternative to the angel eyes for these awesome headlights? I imagine an ideal solution would use the existing angel eye wiring and white connectors, but perhaps not.
Of course, it would be nice to have high-beams to flash when the projectors are off, so that might take up the existing holes in the lights. Perhaps there is a way to use a bulb (H7 LED projector?) for both flashing at a decent/full power level and as a parking light at a lower power.
Any other ideas out there? I appreciate any thoughts or solutions you all may have on this.

Yea me, no ae

Need those parking lights to pass annual inspection here too. Not the end of the world (yet!!), still looks good. Using those oem bulbs that were originally coming with the bosch headlights. Not sure of their P/N. Sure you could find the equivalent at the auto store near by. Plugs onto the same circuit your AE were on at the time.

Fred, your gorgeous projectors passed the German inspection process. I used your idea and connected a bulb to the AE circuit to act as parking lights. Since the wiring for the cutoff solenoid was going through the parking light hole, I used a H7 LED bulb in the high-beam hole. My reflectors are painted black, so it isn't too bright or distracting to oncoming traffic and the inspector didn't have any comments.
