Hey all you '92-'94 year model owners...
...What's up with the extreme dislike of having cornering lights on your car and the strong desire to modify 'em into fake foglights? Reason why I ask is, because, I've already had quite a few '92-'94 owners (mostly young kids) ask me how to "turn on" the foglights on their cars everytime they see my own '95 with my foglights turned on...And it just kills me to tell them that their cars don't have any...And with all these yoohus on this forum constantly inquiring about foglight conversions...I've been compelled to ask you '92-'94 guys..."What's so hot about having foglights over conering lights?" why not just live with the fact, that your car came equipped with cornering lights instead of foglights...I mean, cornering lights can't be that lame...can they?
So yeah, what are your personal reasons for ridding your pre '95 of cornering lights in favor of "fake" foglights?

yes they are, they are lame...solution? pull the bulbs out and retrofit an HID system for the low beams for better illumination
fog lights are overplayed anyways

but you cant really illuminate jack with fog lights to be honest. it's just for style points.
it's just corner lights = less style points than fog lights, so by converting them to fog lights they get a lil more style points rofl.

LMAO. I actually thought you were joking.
Cornering lights suck for 2 reasons. First when you signal to turn, it looks like you have a burnt out fog light. And second is that jdm yellow fog lights are tight. But seriously not all cars have fog lights, so its nicer having fog lights then no fog lights. For the record coverting your cornering lights into fog lights is no faker then those fog light kits you buy at autozone.

I like the cornering lights on my '93. I understand the reasons to upgrade for functionality and style points, but I am a purist. I look at my vehicle as more of a time capsule. But to each there own, and that is why we have so many different great looking cars on this forum.

I cant comment...i removed them completly and put fogs in place of the turning lamps..not entirely my fault, and the lights that are there now look ugly and out of place..but in the end, i have better illumination at night, they have the "JDM TYTE YO!!" yellow light out put, and they will work till I do a 97+ conversion.

Because fog lights are used basically for fog and being able to light up the road in foggy conditions (if you use HIDs and not the standard bulbs which are pretty much useless in our cars) is alot useful than cornering lights. Seriously, how many cars have cornering lights? I like the idea of the road I'm turning to being lit up but I'd rather be able to see when there is fog.
EDIT: I kept my cornering lights until I did the 2k conversion.

I kept mine as cornering lights until I did the 2k conversion because when you convert the cornering lights into fogs they serve no purpose as they project sideways and just blind people all the time. I found the cornering lights to be very helpful in areas where street lights are not used.

Unless you change out the bulb, the stock cornering light bulbs arent bright enough to blind people. I actually wish my lights were brighter.
