That's what I was thinking. I don't plan on turning the angel eyes on much if ever. But I'm not down with just unplugging them. If they're there I'd like them to work regardless of how often I'm going to use them...

I like the idea of the angel eyes being on the middle position of the euro switch(city light position) yet i guess they would still be on on the far right (headlight on) position. Or am I wrong?
I'm partial to angel eyes, i think it would be cool to be able turn them on by themselves (city light pos or w.e) but def dont like them on all the time

I have these lights and love them! Only thing I would change is the black bezel around the lights. wish that were chrome too.
But here's my 2 cents for wiring them up:
If you have a euro switch you can probably wire them any way you like. I have mine wired like so:
1 turn to the right turns the halos on.
all the way to the right the HIDs come on.
1st click/pull out my micro de fogs come on.
2nd click/pull out the celis fogs come on.
With that said I'd think you could just cut and splice the signal wires from the euro switch so they can come on when you want them to.

Holy smokes. How do you wire all this!?

yes angel eye lights belong on BMW's and LED strips on audis.

X2 http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif Both the angel eyes and LED strips look cheap unless they're OEM.

Same here. I looked at these briefly because they are Hella and all... but I think I'm going to attempt (gulp) to do my own bixenon projector retrofit on the OEM lights with a D2S HID setup.

I think I have a pic floating around here of the pinouts in english. I'll look for that.
And I did my own LED repair, very similar to ECS, but cheaper. I've actually been thinking about upgrading the LED's so if you want my fix PM me.

It sounds more difficult than it is. With the euro switch the halos would come on with 1 turn to the right and the headlights all the way to the right anyways. I think i switched the fog light operation around so I could have my micro de's on first. (I think the lower fogs look better than the in-headlight ones) There's a cable/connector you can buy from the dealer to connect to the headlight pins.

I have a set of HELLA CELIS that are slightly used but I R&R'd the glass so they are like new. And they are for sale. So if anyone is interest just shoot me a PM.
I liked them allot but I got a really good deal on OEM HID's.
