Default installing headlights, need some help...

wussup fellas, i'm currently working on rebuilding the front end of a wrecked 1994 accord that i bought for cheap and i've run into a problem...

all i need is to be corrected if i am wrong when i say the following:

looking at the driver's side headlamp + corner lamp unit i should see the following:

The LEFT MOST bulb is HIGH BEAM (only on when HIGH BEAM is on)
The SECOND is the LOW BEAM. (only on when LOW BEAM is on)
The THIRD is the PARKING LIGHT. (ALWAYS on when headlights are on does NOT blink ever)
The LAST bulb is the INDICATOR LIGHT. (only blinks when indicating a turn)
The BUMPER LIGHT turns on with the PARKING LIGHT but then turns off when LOW BEAM headlight is turned on. The bumper light does NOT blink when indicating a turn.

Someone please correct me if anything that I said was wrong. I am having a handful of trouble trying to figure out what these lights do. I am under the assumption that in 1994-1995 Accords, the corner lamps blink when indicating a turn and the bumper lights do not. I was told that in the 1996-1997 Accords, the bumper lamp was extended to serve the purpose of a blinking corner lamp and therefore on those model accords the corner lamps do NOT blink when indicating a turn, the bumper lamps DO.

any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

You got it all right except for the bumper lights. They do flash when you turn, and they don't come on with the parking lights on.

yes, you have the head lights right:
high and then low beam * inside to out*

then corner lights: has two little bulbs: on my 96 they both stay on when parking lights are on: Oh and the they have never blinked: now my bumpers do blink: when you turn~!

i did hear once that 94-95 corners did blink to show turns:
