Yes, they act as running lights and additional brake lights. You can order the OEM lights and kit from minispeed. Gominigo only has the wiring harness. It's a very straightforward install and the instructions go step by step. Believe me, if I can do it, anyone can. I'm mechanically challenged.

Thanks for the complement on my stripes. I like them a lot!!

Much Thanx; "new NJ Motorsports Park" really piques my interest too! (I'll look that up too). If not in an R56S (I'm pretty sure I've narrowed down what I'm buying now), it'll be in a silver C43 [w/a E55 engine transplant] w/a lot of suspension work.

You leave the shutter open for longer (15-30+seconds) depending on the lighting in the environment your in. Then use a pen light or little keychain LED and draw pictures while the shutter is open. Make sure the light you are using if a concentrated light. Think less of a glow stick and closer to a flashlight. If you have any other questions just pm me!

So how do you like the vinyl wrap up front? I painted mine (check back a few pages) but now I'm thinking about the vinyl. My paint job was pretty much ruined when I took it over Mt.Hood recently. There was a ton of gravel on the road.
