It's just a couple of nuts, although one is in a plastic harness... I decided I didn't want to break that LOL

Here’s another perspective on that…. I’m not worried about the impact on the driving range from a subwoofer install on a car that motorizes its handles open, turns on the headlights, cranks on the HVAC, and turns on the radio every damn time I go into the garage, or walk by it in the driveway...

Oh, I was thinking you were talking acoustically. Not by any measurable means no way. Probably uses less than a seat massage session? Certainly isn’t the slightest concern for me.

I don’t think I understand the question. For what it’s worth I don’t have any acoustic testing gear.

For sure. Played loud the system vibrates the mirrors now.

Thank you much. For the speakers, I didn't use alligator clips, instead I stripped it quote long, and wrapped the copper wire around the speaker contact area. My old Bose (70's built) floor speakers were built like that. They didn't solder, they wound-wrapped them. So I thought that was good...

There’s no digging to do, the 12v is right there. I did this:

Oh, I’m an oddball I’m sure in that I use them. Most folks don’t even tough their headlight switches. They will sit in their car with their headlights shining onto a restaurant patio and not care they are ruining a meal. Not my style, I tend to tread lightly. It’s not an England thing, it’s all...

STAAAHP! I may get into this! :D

No shit! That’s cool. I’ve been wanting to get into HA but I’ve been content with my Hubitat etc as is… that seems quite powerful. But also a bit involved for what I want to do here, which is just use parking lights (corner indicators) as I can on I’m pretty sure every single other car manufactured.

I wouldn’t leave them on overnight for sure, but to park a car in an underlit area for 5 minutes or two hours for dinner is very practical.

The issue I have is that they don’t stay on with the car locked and off.

No, not one side. This post is talking bare minimum of the four corners being used. I wasn’t sure what “this” was when you said that and topic of this post. The left - right, functionally is pretty German specific.

All American made cars and Japanese cars, I’ve owned have them too. Granted, it’s been a while.

Indeed it’s law in some places. And practical, convenient, and safe in others. (And no, flashing hazard lights aren’t an ideal substitute. Very inelegant!)
