    Question How do you turn them on?

    Unless both mine are burned out (I have not checked), but do they turn on with low beams or high? Do they have a separate switch cuz the owner's manual does not mention them or I am blind and yes a 2 month VX newbie owner...

    The little round lights are on as soon as you turn your light switch to the first position (even if you don't turn on your headlights). Low beam or high beam does not matter at all. They are burned out if they do not come on. There is no separate switch.

    And if you want to take it one step father, Moncha wrote up a how to for the Hella Micro DE's as a replacement. I took that one step father and converted them to HID's which I have a how to write-up also.

    If you're a smart guy you can figure out how to replace the round lights with any kind of fog lights. Since I'm not that smart I used Moncha's write up to get the wiriing right and to help me wire the factory switch (that I got from Merlin). It's a great write up, easy to follow and can be adapted for any lights.

    Have fun and take pictures of the results.

    I noticed one of mine was out the other day. I had a pair of these lights I got from someone about 3 years ago, so I pulled one of the bulbs out to replace mine. Well surprise - it's BLUE! So I replaced both of them, and now I have blueish little round lights.

    Call it an unintentional mod...
