[QUOTE="Snodogpete, post: 500802, member: 5840"] Long(ish) post incoming: I ordered a ridiculously awesome set of new headlights from Dawson at RaptorRetrofit (woo customer service/turn around time/pricing), and just got them in over the weekend. I had him do the double "evil eyes" style rings around the projectors, with the inner rings a sweet blue to match the interior of the truck/theme I'm going with, and the outer rings are white, just because. After looking at the pictures he sent during the build, and discussions with a friendly local law enforcement official, I have decided it is in my best fiscal and legal interests to only have the blue eyes run when the vehicle is not in motion. So, my two part question is: 1) Are there any lights on the Raptor that only are on when parked/unlocking the vehicle that I can run (splice, hook into, tap, whatever. I have no experience in this sort of thing) the blue evil eyes to? I'm picturing them as sort of "waking up eyes" as opposed to the white "wide awake and angry eyes." and 2) Are there any lights on the Raptor that are only on when the engine is running/driving? Would like to use the white evil eyes as a sort of DRL, and to differentiate myself from the 4 other Raptors in the community of like 30,000 people I'm currently in. (Sidebar - 4 Raptors in this community, and they all have to be black? Come on people.) I currently keep my lights on auto, because I'm lazy, but am not opposed to having to turn the headlights on manually. Just would be nice not to have to flip switches to turn on and off to have the rings glow. Also, any general tips on what not to do, so I don't kill myself/lose a body part/Ferrari-roast my truck would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
