I'm going to try to reinstall the parking lights in the headlights, but if that gets too complicated I may go this route. Would also love to see some night time pictures of the these lights when you're done!

I know the first thing you're going to think is, those can't be any good for that price. I thought that too but you will be surprised, I was.

The turn signals will be easy. Just buy 2 of these from Amazon. Pop out the turn Signal bulb and wire this up and pop it in the bulb hole. For the DRL I have for fine s course of power when ever the key is on.

Thanks, when I get my car back I'm going to first see about getting the parking lights back in the headlight units, this will be my second option. I am going to tap into the side markers and have a connection I can unsnap so I can remove the bumper cover if I go this route. How are these lights attaching to the bumper. Are you using 3M double sided trim adhesive?

They are almost a perfect fit between the fins. I'm going to use 3M tape. I dont know what year you have but on my 03 the side markers don't flash with the signals. They come on with the parking lights but dont flash. That's why I bought the plugs.

I have an 03 also, so these would fit mine the same. My side markers don't flash but I would want these to come on when the side markers come on. The reason I may do this is for a forward facing parking light in place of the parking light that was in the headlight unit. When my headlights were converted to Bi-xenon projectors, new wires for the Bi-Xenon shutter and angel eye were installed that occupy the hole where the parking light socket used to reside. The projectors have angel eyes on a relay so they only came on with the parking light and went off when the headlights came on. These angel eyes were my front facing parking lights. Now the angel eyes have died, so I want some front facing parking lights and I don't think I want to take my headlights apart or have someone else do that.
