It is the light that is alternate to the headlight bulbs inside of the JDM headlamps pictured above. It is the light that is on currently in the pictures, not the corner lamps.

In the US these would be our daytime running lights. That is why I when they lights, some people just have them wired differently for their own preference because normally the city lights will be on and the corners will be off as well. When the headlights come on, the city lights turn off.

See post above

As confused as you believe you are, you are correct, with exception to them automatically turning on.

Yeah, we just wired ours to the parking lights so they don't just turn on automatically when the car is started. When we do want them on, the corners provide a little more light.

that is pushing it a tad...hahah you cant have parking/city lights and OEM fogs at the same time. OEM fogs will only work with the headlights on, unless you rewire it. Personally, I will not rewire what Honda spent millions in R and D wiring for me

That isn't right, if you did wire up your city light the way JDM Honda wanted then you will be able to have foglights on with city lights, you can't really say OEM Honda because you have JDM headlamps or at least you posted JDM headlamps.

<u>Headlight switch</u> with foglights as well.

1st setting-city lights/no corner lamps/no headlights/option to turn on foglights
2nd setting-no city lights/no corner lamps/headlights/option to turn on foglights

EDIT: Wire them to a switch

Where did you get your JDM headlights and how much did you pay for them?

Well you made the right choice H22 = Our city lights are only on when we turn on the parking lights. Don't really like the idea of daytime running lights for some reason. I know what you mean about the tight fit of the lights, my ac lines had to be bent out of the way.

Here, the corner lenses act as parking lights and turn signals. On a stock JDM honda, the city lights act as parking lights and the corner lenses and sidemarkers only act as turn signals. I know this is true for at least the EG civics.

Here? You mean in the United States where I am located as well ? I do realize how the corner lights function here, but this post was made specific in spec to the JDM headlamps so the USDM counterparts are not valid to the topic.

The model doesn't really make a difference, the difference is in the choice of wiring.

Where did you get your JDM headlights and how much did you pay for them?

http://www.passwordjdm.com sells jdm headlights for $99.00 (92-95 civic specific on price)
