Default Proper JDM Headlight lighting???

With the first click up on the light signal..what should go on...? what should blink with the turn signal? what should turn off/on when regular headlights are engaged?(2nd click)?

Includes ----Side markers, city lights, and turn signal bulbs, is what im confused on.

what i believe is the correct jdm way. one click should only turn on the city lights, not the turn signal and side marker with it. second click will have the city lights on and the low beams.

the side marker and the turn signal should only flicker when you turn.


this pic is what 2 clicks should look like

That is always how I though it should work. That is how my buddies works.

I had mine wired so that the city light and the side marker came on at the same time, on the first click

On the second click, the low beam and the city light and the side markers come on, but if you use the turn signal, the sidemarker goes off when the turn signal flashes. This creates an alternating pattern of on and off.

With no clicks the turn signal flashes in unison with the sidemarket

yes, proper "JDM" way is first click is just the city light, 2nd click is headlights leaving city lights on. Sidermarkers and blinkers only turn on when using the blinker, foglight should be able to turn on and off with switch on either first or secdon click, not turning on by just pressing the button.

i would thnk that the city light is always on.. regardless if first click or second click?
technically a city light should stay on as soon as the car is started..ala the Lexus/BMW or Canadian cars?
