lol, you were making fun of my car and you have 1 piece projectors..

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

city lights are light bulbs that act as parking lights, they are the first click on your headlight switch. i'll take pics of mine later. i dont feel like it right now.

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

Auto tranny with stock headlight vs 5 speed with 1pc projector... i guess i could survive the 1pc longer than an auto ;)

Anyway my question is: what is the purpose of city light?

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

it doesn't do much, it makes your headlights look like they are on, but not produce a bunch of light. I'll take pics of mine tonight, when it is dark enough to where you can understand.

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

I think those 1 pc projectors you had are nice. I'll take them if their cheap. lol ;D

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

is it me or is there any difference between the cnd light and the usdm one because when i had my oem light it always had a light on. On the firts click they remain on ( dim ) and corner lights up, second click same light become brighter, then there is the highbeam.

so if im correct usdm light dont light up until you put them on the first click... So cnd model has a "kinda cheap" city light system?

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

If anyone wants those one piece lights, Cray91 has some on his car that I've been telling him to sell and get stock ones so we can spend more money on his motor build.
Pm that bastard and buy. :D

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)

word

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

"city lights" are just running lights...in canada cars from xxxx year and up have to have them. first click your corners come on and taillights second click is headlights.
running lights just have less power sent to them i think. Just a "safety" feature

You are a real dictionnary, thank you :-*

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

they're like extra parking lights.

my friend jeff bought some of those. we wired the city lights to his old n2o toggle switch.

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

i get them only in black

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

The 1pc projector lights?

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

This is that mine look like. They are okay, I got em when I got into my accident, so the bitch paid for em. I don't think they look too bad. I like em a lot better than the "halo" rice lights.

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

Those are pretty cool too.

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

anything other than oem is rice, you ------ ricers.

Re:Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

i have the jdm eg6 headlights and corners as well. i like them because at night when you're in the city you can run just your parking lights and the city lights (hence the terms "city lights"). in japan, they're used at night so you dont blind the hell out of oncoming drivers with your headlights. lets be honest, in a big city like say toronto, when you're rollin down a brightly lit street young, spadina, the gardner or especially the 407 your headlights can be overkill. the city lights take a 168/194 wedge bulb so buy a good set and then you're laughin.

the eg6 headlights use yur stock usdm or cdm h4 headlight harness. the jdm bulbs for those headlights are the h4h which is diff design than usdm/cdm h4. there are threads of people modifying the h4s into retrofit h4hs but i would rather not suggest that. h4h bulbs can be had from online retailers like options auto salon, icbmotorsport.com, jhpusa.com and so forth. i'll upload pics of the city lights to my website and link them here in a few.

for the city lights, i just wired them into my corner light harness. ground the black wire of the city light harness to where you feel and run the red power wire to the parking light wire of your corner light harness (i believe it's the red wire). the eg6 sidemarkers are nice as well and complete the package but if you dont have the fenders you have to get the template to cut your fenders which is easy to find on the internet. if you get them let me know and i can get it for you.

you got a good deal on those lights man. i paid over $150US+shipping for mine back in 2001 with corners.

*EDIT* here are some pics which might help ya out:

this is a pic of my hb with the eg6 headlights with just the ciyt light on. i use piaa xtreme white bulbs so the light is brighter and more white than your standard wedge bulb but doesnt have that ricer blue look to it.

here's a pic of the back of eg6 headlights. i marked the city lights and as you can see the main headlight bulb harness is the same as our h4 harness (the corner lenses are the eg6 units as well. the lights in the bumper are piaa 1100 driving lamps)

last but not least, this is what the bulb looks like that your headlights SHOULD come with already. if not, bitch to the seller to send you a pair

Re: Civic EG6 headlight (city light)
 

as steve-o said, they are used for at stoplights...you kill your regular headlights. they aren't called "city lights" they are called "curtosy lights" (sp)
just thought I would clear that up. ;)

WHere someone said they are used instead of regular headlights is beyond me. and also, they look nothing like whats in the picture.
they look like your everyday headlight. if you can tell in this pic:
