Ok guys so I have a question for those with a jdm or edm eg civic. My question is do you know If with oem city lights are the corner lights on at all times or do they just blink for the turn signal? thanks in advance

 

Im gunna guess theyre on at all times, but I may be wrong...

 

...mine are on all the time but its USDM. heres a thought at night go out and turn your lights on. answer found. common sense ftw.

 

Fail. He was asking for JDM/EDM types, if they differ. All USDM cars need running lights, that is obvious to the OP.

 

Thank you special brownie..... It's nice some take the time to read the entire post

 

So no one has a jdm/edm eg civic?

 

Depends. Some euro countries have them on all the time, and I was told some have them turn on when it gets dark automatically (photo sensor maybe). Japan is wired to turn on with what we would call 'parking lights.' Their front turn signals are single filament, used only when turning, along with the side markers. Thats the reason they are called 'city lights.'

I wired mine to cut on with the parking lights, and left the parking lights circuit on, since its illegal to not have corner lights in US. "JDM" would be to just route the 'low' power wire from corner light to city light.

 

Wow finally, thanks shwanC

 

bump for eg'z

 

jdm corner lights only comes on when blink and they on use a 2 wire pin... usdm stay on at all time if not its illegal.. usdm uses a three wire pin..red, black, green.. red is not on the jdm but on the city lights..thus red mean power on all time... green is ur signal lights..n black is ur ground..

 

I have jdm headlight assemblies on my civic and I wired the running lights to come on when I turn my corner lights on, but not to blink with the turn signals. There might be a pic of it on my info
