city lights
has anyone installed city lights on their lancer?? . . i want to install some lights in the same housing as the turn signals - yellow ones maybe, to give a euro look . . but im not talking about replacing the turn signals, just adding more lights to that particular housing . . . and put them on their own switch . . . i was thinking i could just drill a hole for them in the back of the housing to put them in . . . i was curious as to if anybody has done this or thinks it is a good idea . . . . ?

by adding more lights into a stock housing u can screw up the light angles and effectiveness.
the DOT/SAE may disapprove of that...but then again nobody really cares.
just keep in mind that tailights are calibrated and specifically designed and angled to have the most reflection/visibility going back to an oncoming traffic or such...
dunno if i'm making sense right now.....so someone can translate for me?![HeadBang](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/headbang2.gif)
this goes to headlights too, actually even more so cuz ur acutally dispersing/spraying light ahead of u.
