Default They look like this...
Eurospec headlights without the amber reflector

Comparison of the two...

E-codes have low wattage "city light" bulbs stuck in with the high beam housing. In Europe, the city lights act as the parking lights, and the corner bulbs are used only as blinkers.

Default Is the amber projector a dual filament bulb...
...so then I could re-route the hot lead for the parking lights from the amber projector to the city light socket while leaving the hot lead for the signal lights?
