Installed these the other day, 5W Amber city lights in my new euro smileys:

I like the amber better than the whites, for now at least. There's a couple more pictures in my profile thread (link's in my sig).
Right now they are wired to the side marker plug, so they come on at the half pull on the headlight switch. I was thinking I'd like to wire them to always be on when the car is on. That way I could have them on with out the other lights and I wouldn't have to worry about accidentally leaving them on.
What do you think?

That looks really nice. Question, where do the crosshairs go and what do they do?

The crosshairs go in the high beams and effectively "smoke" the lens without inhibiting light output. This is how hella smoked these lights. The low beams are smoked in a different method. I want to smoke them but am worried that I'll damage them, so I'm going to wait until after I've practiced on some less expensive ones.
