hey does anyone know how to have both of the bumper lenses lit up when the headlights are on? i think only the outer ones are lit and the inner ones blink when signaling. any help is appreciated.
probably would work but sounds like it might melt the wires or underpower bulbs if you ran both off just the side marker wires

in america you must have amber on the front corners of your car at all times. to make it like that the outside is always one and then turns off when the inside turns on, and so on.
but then there is also a law about how many lights can be on in the front of your car. hence why foglights turn off when you turn on the high beems, because you are only alowed 4 driving lights on at a time
^^interesting - I don't know too much about laws and stuff....as far as that goes
But as far as the crossing of the wires and stuff, that may try to put too much current through the wires and either short out something or pop a fuse. I highly doubt they are made to run all on.

well that doesn't make sense for us that have 4th gens... b/c it has 6 lights that are on at a time.. you have 2 low beams, 2 corner lights on the headlight, and 2 bumper lights...

yeah i dont know why they have the corner lights but they are not driving lights they dont put much out. im not sure on the law about the other lights like turn signals

the lights have to be ones that are meant to shine and project forward...the corner lights do not do this, thus it is not a problem...but if someone were to hook up additional foglights to the JDM ones and have them all at once (low beams, jdm fogs + another set of fogs), then this might pose a problem, as you would have too many lights on...
on a side note, not having corners or reflectors on the front or rear is also illegal, as a car coming directly towards you perpendicularly would not be able to see you...take for example, the rear tail lights...notice they don't have reflectors on the side built into them? thats why we have the rear bumper side markers that serve as reflectors and the corner light mandated by DOT...
