Well...if they only work when your headlights are on which are usually at night...then I can't be cool and show them working during the day unless I turn my headlights on and fix the motors. So, I will leave as is Maybe I can rig them to just squirt the car in front of me when they won't move over on the freeway?

And here's another fun German engineering question. Why can I only have one parking light work by turning my headlight switch to a certain position? Or is something wrong with my headlight switch?

Those are standing lights for marking the roadside limits of the vehicle when parking on the side of the road. When you park on the right side of the road, you would turn the light switch all the way counterclockwise to turn on only the left parking lights. When parking on the left side of the road you would turn the light switch one notch counterclockwise from vertical to turn on only the right side parking lights. Less battery drain this way (only one side parking lights and no instrument lights) and lets other drivers know that you are parked. Mark

Amazing...that must be stuff they need to have over in Europe. Good to know. I love it! Thanks for the quick response! I can now use it here if need be I didn't even know I had the options until I turned my lights off one night and clicked too far to the left and someone asked me about why I had only one parking light on

They say it never rains in southern California...

It is rare and we like it when it does. However, when it does, we get a years worth of rain in 3 days wiping out everything. You can wear shorts and t-shirts in the Winter...at least I do

+1 on that. Same story anywhere in Northern New England too. I remember talking to someone from FL years ago who had no idea why they would ever need to put salt on the roads. Blew my mind at first. Of course, growing up around here I also remember people thinking "Why would anyone need air conditioning in a convertible?"
