Sorry, but it just doesnt make sense to me. I thought the 2 options were: 1) turn signals which flashed with the other TS bulbs. (In or out of sync?) 2) Parking lights, meant to be turned on if you parked your car somewhere where you thought there was a greater than average chance of someone sideswiping you. Then you could just leave the lamp on the traffic side lit while you were parked. This made you more visible while minimizing the drain on the battery. Or something like that. I had a Mercedes once that had a feature something like this. It didn't have side lamps, but there were positions on the headlamp switch that would turn on the parking lights on one side of the car only; this only worked with the key OFF. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
