sorry, but that made me laugh!
Anyways, yes, when you release the park break, the lights turn on. Try it out! And check out that thread from jedi. Good stuff in there

you crazy Canucks and your weird lights.
the US model doesn't do that, they stay off unless you turn the lights to the 1st spot or when the headlights are turned on.

30,000 k is beyond retarded.

haha, the 'main features' are even laughable:
  • Color that is closer to natural sunlight making it safer and clearer at night.
- WTF?! at that k rating, you're so far away from natural light...


sorry but 6k is probably as high as you want to go, more then that and you get to far up the color spectrum and it all goes purple.
I know you like purple but for driving the usability of that goes to ****. (plus you'll look like a ricer)

The only reason im going purple is because its the hardest led to produce (with good viability) for surface mounts and superfluxs. Cause red is overrated and i hate blue.
