How are JDM DC2 suppose to light up?
I know that side markers are only suppose to light up when turn signals are used. Here are my questions:
1. When the parking light is turned on, are turn signals and city light suppose to be on?
2. Are city lights suppose to be on everytime my car is turned on? or do I have to turn on my parking lights?
3. Are turn signals suppose to turn on when my parking lights or on? or only when I actually signal?
TIA

Re: How are JDM DC2 suppose to light up? (DC2Header)
This is the correct lighting scheme:
I've never seen the city light constantly lit up, even in pictures of stock Japanese Integra's. So I assume the city light is hooked up to a switch of some sorth.
The turn signal corner lights are to be off unless they're blinking. You'll notice that the JDM corner bulb is a single filament, so it stays off and only blinks.
Since there isnt a "parking light" for the JDM ITR front end, you can either hook up the fogs or city light to the parking light switch or just dont use the parking light switch at all.

With the parking lights on, only the city lights will be on in the front.

They're only on when signaling.

You're wrong. See above.

The parking lights are the city lights. They're constantly illuminated.
I own a 1999 JDM ITR, so I'm sure of how the lights work from the factory.
