Default 98 Newb question about corner lights. :)

Hey everyone I just bought a 98 and i'm wondering if the corner lights (next to the headlights) are supposed to be steady and blink. Or just blink. And if they are not supposed to be steady then blink, how can one mod them to be that way? Thanks.

If you're talking about the side marker lights on the outside corners next to the headlights with clear housing and a yellow bulb condom, they only turn on when you use your blinker. I have no idea how to wire them to stay on all the time though.

Hey Shonn, new car? What happened to the old buddy?

Which bulb exactly are you talking about? Can you get a pic?

Yep new one. Sold the old one to an up-and-coming vip/exe enthusiast. And so I decided to upgrade a little. And as for the lights. It's just the cornerlights right next to the headlights. On the 98-00 for some reason Lexus decided they shouldn't be a steady light and just be a blinker. I'll probably just mod it to work for both a marker light and blinker.

I saw the pics in the pacific forum, looks great man, she's got some serious potential.

You should go with a 19-20" Dark wheel to compliment the black tint and darker blue paint

anyways.. can't wait to see some mods to her

its not a 21...UCF20II. 21 refers to the "ultra lux" packages not avail in the US model LS400.
