Default Correct way to wire JDM sidemarkers? (96-00)

Ok, this is for reference (for 96-00 civics) regaurding how they blink on real CTR's, etc. I couldn't find anything about this in the search so here goes:

Now, if I'm not mistaken, on real deal CTR's, the side marker is a running light and a turn signal, and the corner lamp is just a turn signal (which is why CTR headlights don't have reflectors in the corner lamp correct?)

Just wondering, I'd like to wire up my sidemarkers the "JDM" way

I don't care how you have yours wired up or if you think I should wire mine the same way, If you can't answer my question, dont answer my question, so simple, yet so hard for some people to follow.

Thanks in advance

The sidemarker acts as the turn signal only. The corner light, turn signal only. The parking lights are the city lights. So, the correct way to wire up the sidemarker is to make them turn signals only.

More light to your sides? Put a big KC fog lamp on your door then, a sidemarker isn't going to stop someone from hitting you if they can't see a 2600lb car going down the road.
