Here's a pic of mine, back when my car wasnt a useless piece of **** sitting on jackstand taking up room in my back yard.

The OEM set up is corners lights off, except for blinking. Fogs should be connected to a fog light switch.

I got into a minor fender bender and got discouraged. I decided to start over from scratch, so I stripped the car down to a shell and made some changes. I'm still working on it...slowly...adding **** randomly. Last week I picked up a Cusco cage for it...so yeah.

I'm thinking of keeping that same color, it's a deep red / burgandy color. Or maybe I'll paint it blue...I dont know...I'm all over the place.

Real. I removed the emblems so I can prep/paint it.

My whole theme is "keepin it real", haha. So from the wheels to the pedals to the engine - it's all authentic and overpriced.

I'm not sure about that, some JDM tegs i've seen have corners on and for blinking.
Sidemarkers are suppose to come on when your lights are on but they're not suppose to blink.

As for blinkers or turn signals, some tegs make them work when they signal
Some want both

Then they weren't wired to factory JDM specs.

If wired to factory JDM specs, the side markers are only supposed to blink, not come on with the rest of the lights.
