JDM "City Lights"..how are they wired up OEM? Options

[broderp]

I was wondering if anyone knew the OEM mode of operation for the JDM low beam lamps "City Lamps"? I think thats what they call them, lol.

The small bulbs in the main low beam housing with the actual low beams in JDM headlights without the projector bulbs.

I need to wire up my JDM lamps, but would like to know what the OEM way they operate. Are they like daytime running lamps? on with the marker lights? ? Thanks!

I always assumed that-
J & E spec celicas have the side marker by the door, this makes the usdm tail light side marker less important (so jdms dont have them) , because the jdm/euro side marker(on the fender) is more visible from the rear than the usdm side marker.
The side marker being closer to the center of the vehicle also makes it less visible from the front of the car, this necessitates the need for the parking lamps in the headlights. I also believe they were added for asthetic reasons, because who wants a sad lonely little projector(halogen light the housing more evenly).


Also an interesting thing I noticed on my usdm-
If our front turn indicator bulb is out, the second filiment in the bulb(parking lamp) will take over operation of the turn indication as well continuing to function as a parking lamp. Excellent example of Toyota Redundancy.


Oh and State/federal law here is that the vehicle needs amber(maybe red?) side markers on the corners of the vehicle so that its length and width are easier to judge.
So in the rest of the world yall have "side markers" where as we in the USA have what is literally a "corner marker" even though we call it a side marker, in addition to tail lights and headlights.
