What year is your car? Why would you do stock automatic 1 wheel burnouts? Depending on the year of your car you might not even have fog lights 97+ have fog lights all the others are just cornering lights

1. If your car is a 93 (according to your SN), you don't have fogs but cornering lamps. Each comes on when you use the corresponding turn signal.

2. Why use the Lex for that? Get a rustang if you like to do burnouts (in a track setting of course).

Have you tried turning on a blinker? Do they come on then? If they do then they are cornering lights like they said previously.

power braking is good for cars. keeps the headlight fluid up to temperature.

Your questioned is answered already. They aren't fog lights. They are cornering lights that only come on when you turn on the blinkers, the headlights must be on as well for the corner lights to come on.

Unless you upgraded your bumper and added foglights than your 93 SC400 does not have fogs. Try parking somewhere, turning on your headlights (I think parking/city lights will work as well) and turning your blinker on and check to see that the cornering light on there is on and do the same for the other blinker.

For the hell of it check if the parking lights work as well for triggering the cornering lights to go on and let us know.

Yo jdm93400....have you even bothered to read the responses that people are giving you? More than a few people have answered your question about your cornering lights and surprisingly enough you havent been hit with the search button response because there a million threads about this. So feel fortunate that everyone is being patient with you, but in return, give them the respect they deserve by acknowledging the fact theyve been helpful and the question has been answered (more than once). Good luck with the car
