Default Turning off city lights completely?

Anyone know how to do this? I'm talking specifically about the small bulb next to the DRL.

Thanks!

The parking lights? No they can't be turned off. Why would you want to do that?

If you really wanted to, just unplug it, or pull out the bulb.

see this post here. brightest-led-parking-light-the-definitive-guide

i went with the these VLED 13 and they match my Garax 6K nicely

there is also this thread all about LED lighting if you wanna get nuts and match your interior or puddle lightsVLED lights The only thing i had to change was the dome lights were blinding and i swapped them out to some ones that had diffusers on them and were matching color temp but just a bit more dim.

hope this helps

I don't think there's a way to turn them off unless you unplug it or cut some wires.

I would just put 6000K LED's in then. For the 07 car, I put Philips Ultinon 6000K LEDs in there to match up wtih the Ultinon 6000K D4S.
