Alright guys,
Going with the 'Eur-ho' look and trying to run the city lights like they're DRLs(Daytime Running Lights). Well, this requires running them as 'accessory lighting' out of the fuse box, no huge deal...this way, immediately when you switch the car on the city lights will illuminate without the outside corners, which are used strictly as turn signals now.

Anyway, that's all good the problem lies in that since the parking light wiring from the factory is a 3 prong system, and the Euro is only 2...I need to somehow fool the OBC into believing that that third one is in use...or they'll be a Parking Light Failure on the OBC along with a Low Beam Failure(which should be gone after the 'fix'.... http://www.bbesound.com/bmw/HIDinstall/

Any of you guys have any clue what I should do here?
