89' parking lamps question

Hey..I just bought a 89' maxima GXE..state inspection says that the lamps in the bumper skin are parking lights and should light up as so...I can not see how these are parking lamps..they work as turn signals and flashers. Should these light with the head lamps or not???? I am a Noob!

brian - stop giving out bad info and stick to promoting your site

the lights in the bumper just underneath the headlights are just blinkers and do not function as parking lights. The lights that touch the edge of the headlight and wrap around are the cornering lights and should come on with parking lights.

they're supposed to be blinkers/flashers...you can rewire them to be on with the parking lights, but theres only 1 power wire that goes to them for the signals, so if they still say you're wrong pull it out and show them the wire

The lights on the bumper are most definately you signals.
