Question Questions about corner Lamps

Hi!

I have a 2005 convertible mustang and i have stupid question about corner lamps...

How they works??

I live in Italy and when i bought my stang the corner lamps turn on only with the arrows...

I want to restore it, but i don't know when and what lamp turn on..

When the dash **** are in the "O" position, what lamp are turn on?

and when the dash **** are in the "P" position, what lamp are turn on? and when it in "D="?

Thanks guys!

It is difficult sometimes to talk about signals and marker lights because the USA standards are different from Europe. The first position is for the running lights, AKA parking lights and taillights. The next position turns on the headlights and keeps the parking lights (including the taillights) on.

thanks! I have a question.. when you turn on the headlight, and turn on the arrow.. what's happens? the corner lamp is already on, how can you see the turn signal?

It would blink. If the headlights are on the corner light dims and gets bright to signal a turn. I the headlights are off the light blinks on and off.

There are 2 bulbs in the front cornering (turn signal) housing; 1 lamp is the running or "parking" light bulb and the other is the turn signal bulb.

Darn, these guys beat to me it. Yes, the corners will light up with the rest of the exterior lights and will blink brighter when the signal is on.
