It's possible.

Those little lights are called city lights. They use them in Europe so you don't need to use your headlights while drving in the city. They are like low low power headlights. Theory is that with all the lighting in the city you won't need headlights anyway.

Anyhow, to put them on your factory lamps, you would need to drill a small hole and wire them up to your parking lights. THere is a company that sells them, just don't remember who. Try a search and see if you find them. If I come across them, I'll post the site. Also, they should be low powered anough so that once your headlights are on, they will be drowned out by the much more powerful bulbs.
 






the company is called LOW GLOW and they make the best neon stuff you can buy.
they are called crusin lights, and cost anywhere from 50-75.
check em out at www.lowglow.com
 






street glow has them as well Dead Link Removed
 






I wouldn't say low glow makes the BEST stuff.. but they definatley make a good product.. I've had lowglow underbody neon for almost 5 years now and street glow interior neons for about a year or 2.. the blues are about the same, but when you compare the length of the tubes vs the price, you get more bang for your buck out of streetglow..

you can get "city lights" or ytou can get headlight neons.. lowglow has the city lights, streetglow the neons, both would probablly do pretty much the same thing.

check out www.buyneonlights.com for great prices on streetglow if you happen to choose them.
 






There is a much cheaper way to do the same thing.
Buy a couple of the side marker light socketts. #85814 at Auto Zone $1.99 ea. Get some Malibu light bulbs where ever they sell the low voltage (12volt) yard lights.
$2.99 per pair. They come in many colors and wattage from 7 to 18 watts.
Drill the hole and put them in. I trim off two of the four rubber ears from the socket and notch the drilled hole so it will push in the hole and turn to make it weather tight.
Will try and post some pix if your intrested.
 






Ya could you post some pics I wanna see what it looks like and if anyone else has some pics of theres with the lights please post them!!
 






You might want to check with local laws. Here in RI you cant have any blue lights infront of your car. They will pull you over and fine you until you get rid of them. I know from experience with blue tinted fog lights.
 






Check the laws.

Yep, as with the previous post, check the local laws. Most places have some sort of restriction on any sort of blue lights, ans some even restrict red lights unless they are brake lights. Some places enforce it and some don't, but why risk a ticket for something so trivial.
