Default Question about sidemarker wiring???

I was wondering which way is the JDM way to wire up sidemarkers? People tell me that the having them on constantly when the lights are on and having them blink when you put on you signals is the right way but then people tell me that the right way is to have them flash when the signals are on? Which way is the right way?

as far as i know, all cars that have stock side markers only light up when signaling.

Yes, they are not supposed to be lit at all times.

You need to wire them in with the turn signals.

They only blink with your turn signals. They do not stay on constantly.

You tap one wire into your non-constant signal light (mine is green), you ground the other.

I am going to get getting CTR headlights in a couple of days and I am going to be wiring the city light so that is the only thing on. Right now I have my sidemarkers wired up so that they are lit up when I have my corner lights on.Should I rewire my sidemarkers so they only come on when I signal?
