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.

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.
