huh? oh.... okay.... you're gonna have to run indepentent wiring to each switch... or click as you put it.... it's gonna have to run directly to the switch... so count on taking some things apart...

you'd have to make it so the parking lights would be off... that would be illegal, cause no tail lights either.

well i'm planning on using relays. just don't know how.

i don't want NO lights on, just the corner light when my headlights are on. so i DO want the tail lights to be still on.

it shouldn't be illegal, look at older cars. They'll still be on with the running light switch, but when i turn on my headlights, they'll go off.

they'll still still stay on with the parking lights and blink, but act like the bumper lights when i turn on my headlights.

(ooh that gives me an idea)

i need to figure out how to have them act regular on the first click, but when my headlamps come on, act like the bumper lights.

The reason i wanna do it is because of two: 1. i can't find any 194 bulbs to match my headlights (be it either regular old clear or hyperwhite bulbs) and 2. i like how the Civic Type-R looks at night (from Gran Tourismo 3)
