The side accent bulb is actually the celica drive lights. In Japan every vehicle over here is required to have them for driving (As a safety feature). The best way to illuminate them if that is wut u want to do is to hook them up with ur factory side markers. Granted they will flash when u hit ur turn signals but hey at least the person in front knows ur turning.

IIRC the sidemarkers dont blink. like the guys have said, they are not required by law in the states. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;) 13.6@108MPH, 5SFTE Powered

It is only 2 wires compared to the US 3 wires which includes the blinker. -------------------- 94 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tom's\|Competition Clutch\|5Zigen\|Apexi\| \|Laille/Beatrush\|Magnecor\|Denso\|Royal Purple\|Optima\|PIAA\|PW JDM\|Megan Racing\|Nitto\| \|Work\|Greddy\|Samco\|Project Mu\|H&R\|Gates\|Moog\|Rota\|Yokohama\|Epman\|1320\|Upgr8 04 Celica GT \|Toyota OEM Japan\|Toyota Racing Development\|Tein\|BC Racing\|Greddy\| ~~89 Supra (Sold)~~ ~~90 Supra (Sold)~~
