Red face Dummy Head Light Q's for '97

SO I am just trying to once and for all, figure out my lights!!! Here are my dumass questions:
-Can, and if so, how, do I get the lights on the very corners to work?? I heard they were for European cities and so forth but are they able to be activated?
-The lights that are turned on by the ring/sleeve switch are what? Fogs, low beams??? Are HIDs or Xenon able to be put in them?
-This is subject to the prior question, but if they are NOT the fogs, where are the fogs and how do I get them to work? Do I need to by fog units?
-Essentially what I want to do is have yellow fogs and a nice blue lights but not sure if I want to lose my high beam functionality? Any ideas?
Thanks for putting up with my rookie questions!

The corner lights are parking lights. One click from the stock should turn them on.

The ring switch is for the fogs.

You can install HID's, but you will glare all over the road, and wont benefit much, because the housings was not made to accommodate the larger HID bulb. your cutoff lines will be non-existent.

fogs are the inside bulbs on the headlight unit. the corner lamps are parking lights and are basically JUST there to light up a little strip on the corners.

Cool, so can I put HID yellows (3K) in the fogs? Where is a good place to search for such lights?? I checked out xenondepot.com.
