Gene,
To install a city light kit to eliminate the check low beam you need to do the following:
If you have factory headlamp housings you may need to open up the holes at the top of the high beams. It is marked, just not knocked out - carefully drill through the black platic housing. If you have replacement lights the hole will already be there and plugged with a gray plastic plug.
I tried several different light sockets - the ones that worked best for me were from the side fender mounted turn signal off my 1994 E-34. The dealer should be able to help you find the right size - places such as Pep Boyz have nothing that will work. These sockets hold standard size 5 warr marker lights - I think bulb #168 or 194? - you can use either clear or amber to your preference.
Just splice the wires for the city lights into the wires for your low beams close to the headlight unit - and no more check low beam warning.
The most inportant thing is that if you do have to drill the hole in your housing unit be careful doing it, use a drill bit that does not have a course thread because it can catch an edge and break off excess material and the socket may not fit securely. Probably if you have access to a Dremel tool to bore out the hole that would be best.
If you need pictures or anything let me know.
Hope this helps,
Roderick
