I been checking through old post and stuff and cant seem to find out why some people have the city light and bulb on once they put turn on the light and some people dont.

Mine has the fogs and the lowbeams on thats it. I know its probably wiring but how is it normally?


High beams work if I activate it, and corners signal like they should. But both lights dont stay on.


Any input would be helpful since I only been with the jdm lights for 4 days now. Thank you

 

City lights should be on when the parking lights are enabled. Doesn't really matter if they stay on with the main headlamps, as they are intended to make the car visible when the main headlamps are off, but most do stay on.

I didn't know JDM Integra headlamps had city lights. I thought it was only (from outside in) turn signal, main headlamp, highbeam, fog light.

Japan doesn't mandate corner marker lamps. The only reason you'd see them on here is because the owner left that functionality from the US headlamps intact. Correct operation would be to only have them light up to signal.

 

The highbeam light has the city light I guess. Now I have to figure how to wire that. Im guessing I might have to splice some wires... but just to make sure Im going to keep searching threads. lol

 

If it were mine, I'd just wire it to what would have previously been the corner marker lamps. City lights should be a 5W bulb, as are marker lamps, so no power/fuse issues there.

 

I have a question: I found where the city lights go, its the green wire from the jdms and the red/black wire from the stock wires.
I also see that the fogs are connected to the same wire.

Would that cause any issues if I had the fogs and the city lights connected to one power source which is the red/black wire?

I know in the diagrams and write ups on this they had to go through a lot of steps. This one seems to be the easy way, without a switch to control the fogs.

 

I'd use a relay and fuses then. With both fogs and marker lamps running together, you might end up pulling more current than any single line was intended to run.
