Hey thanks for the link. The USA 620's are only wired for a single bulb..I'd have to modify my wiring. On yours is one a running light [on when the lights are on] & the other the signal ?

parking lights

Yeah thats right, we have "parkers" on before our headlights lights are on at the first click of the headlight switch, but when the headlights are on (second click/full out) they do stay lit. Makes sense now running/parking lights for when you are pulled over so you don't blind oncoming traffic or make them hesitate but they are still aware you are there....not that profound :P but I've never thought about it. We just use them when its not quite dark enough for headlights or overcast and because they look cool.

 

Eccles I saw that bagged wagon is in the new issue of Cruisin' magazine, Saw it here (and the 620/720 site) first though ;)
