Basically there are 3-4 different re-wire that people will do. . .

Fog Light: With this mod you can have your fog lights stay on whenever any lights are on, i.e. when parking or high beams are on, but will turn off when lights are turned off. They would still be controled by the same switch if for some reason you wanted then turned off.

Corners: This allows the bulb next to the headlight to always be turned on in 27W mode. Most people find that it better matches the intensity of their headlights. In 95-96 cars, this light turned bright when the turn signal was used, but was dropped in 97 for some reason or another. The 97+ cars still use a dual filament bulb though, so it can still be done.

Turn Signals: There are 2 different things you can do with the turn signals.

1. You can make it so that when the lights are on, the side of the turn signal and the front alternate blinking, where the front only blinked before. When lights are off they blink together.

2. You can replace the socket for the front bulb so that it will house a dual filament bulb and it will always be illuminated when the lights are on, but blinks when you turn on your turn signal.

There are instructions for all of these on a couple different websites. . . If you want more info on how to do certain ones, I can try and find a link, just let me know which one you want more info on.
