What are you tapping the 'side' lights on the fog lights to?

My ES had a similar deal with the US vs. JDM corner lamps.

Are you going to run the two fog light lamps at the same time? Or tap the city/parking lights in case you want just the side lamps on and not the fogs.

I would like to add some DRLs on the LS so I bought a JDM fog lights kit.

Looks good. How did it look inside the oil pan? Any gunk or shavings?

Before change the motor oil, I've put some MOTUL "engine clean" product. So no gunk or shavings inside the pan. I was impressed because everything was clean.
