k so this mite be very dumb and i searched for this all over this site and many others anyhow....i have a 1994 sc300 5spd and i simply cannot find the fog light switch..........do they automatically turn on when u turn on the lights? someone said they are cornering lights for turn signals but um thats not true...i dont know...are they decoration? lol i see like water inside mine thats not the question but there must be lights in their...sorry if this is a dumb question..thanks for help

 

i have a 92 and i think i just have cornering lights.

 

they should be cornering lights. i wondered about this too cuz mine dont work.. im not sure what the issue with them is..

 

they aren't fog lights, they only turn on when you have a turn signal on

 

There are ways to make them run like fogs.

 

yeah but when you do this, make sure you do it properly and use a relay.

Don't just tap into the parking light wiring, you'll fry a lot of stuff within a year of running it like that.


The lights on the 92-94 SCs are cornering lights. They do not project forward like foglights would, the housing is designed to project light at a 45 degree angle outwards from the front of the bumper to illuminate road area to where you are about to turn. The SC has a natural blind spot from the A-pillar on either side of the vehicle, the light helps you see at night when you need to turn in a dark area. They ONLY come on in conjunction with a turn signal while the LOW BEAMS ARE ON. If the parking lights or no headlights are on, that light will never light up. When the low beam headlight is on, and the turn signal is activated, the respective side corner light will light up. That is how they function, that is how they were designed to function. In 1995, they became actual foglights.

 

ah yes i just went to my car and they are cornering lights when u use turn signals...i believe that is because any year under 1995 is like this...otherwise they have their own fog lights...

 

I totally forgot about your car ....I was trying to think of someones on here to point out.

And that's why everyone wants the 97' conversion or 97'+cars

 

peep it...

with that bulb, it still wouldn't be considered fog lights though... i just left it alone, but that's just me

 

true, they really arent foglights but they give the appearance of fogs.
