Default JDM EG6 Civic 92-95 headlights headlight city lights?

When you wire up you’re city lights where do you wire them up to your headlights bulbs or the corner lights

If you try to splice the city lights into the corner light harness, such that you have both the city lights and your corner lights as running lights, you will cause instability in your electrical circuit (basically everything that is in series behind the running lights will have to split the amperage with the city lights). To correctly hook them up you will no longer have the corner lights on when the light switch is in the running lights position. The blinker will still work if you wire it correctly. As a side note the JDM civics don't have the corner running lights.

i have my city lights hook up to my corner lamps and when the city lights are on, so are my corners. this has been my setup for the last 4 years with not a single problem. i think it looks much better then the "jdm" way.
