no, "city lights" are on euro spec non-DOT headlamps where there is a small
parking light bulb that usually is mounted in the side of the headlamp
housing, and when you have your parking lights on, is gives the headlight a
soft glow.   i have the eurolights w/ H4  (non-DOT) on one of my '86 audi
5kTurbos...  when you have the city lights on, it kinda looks like you left
your headlights on, and your battery is running down.. (ive been told that a
few times :<)
remember the '66 down bugs and '67 down microbuses?  looks like that when the
parking lights are on.
