So i got bored and was looking at the tail light halos from AAC and saw that to deactivate the parking light in the tail lights all you have to do is cut off one of the wires on the bulb itself. i happened to have two extra bulbs so here you go!

There are four pins on the bottom of each bulb for the tail lights (2 on the inside and 2 on the outside). the ones on the inside are the one that keep the bulb lit during the light when the brAKEs not being pressed. so just for the hell of it i took the two extra bulbs i had and cut off one of the two pins on the inside so that those two bulbs would stay off all the time except for when the brakes were pressed.

Yeah, we get it...but why? Cause until you hit the brakes you look like a Camaro with two busted tail lights...

1: You're all over thinking it.
2: I got bored.
3: I'll probably put the other bulbs back in.
4: I'll be getting the LED halos from AAC so i wanted to test out the method they suggested.
other than that, there is NO point hahaha

Just decreases the visibility of your car to others at night slightly. A lot of places would then cite you for driving with faulty equipment. I understand the idea of changing the looks, just don't see that this improves the look and then it decreases your safety as well as exposes ya to a ticket...

like others ...
