Could you translate this into English, please?

In other words, it's painful to read this without an attempt at grammar and punctuation.

Sorry i was in a little hurry. MY problem is that I ordered a set of corner lights. Which are set up for cornering lamps. Someone mentioned that my current set up is not set up for cornering lamps. My current corner assembly has one bulb in the very rear of it over the amber reflector. Is this a cornering lamp or not. Sorry if it makes little sense.

What year is your car?

Cornering lamps are clear, bright lamps at the bottom of the fenders, on the sides that light up solid when the turn signal is selected for that side. You see these lights on higher-end American cars such as the Caprice Brougham, Cadillacs, Lincolns, Mercury etc.

You're probably thinking of a side marker lamp. This wraps to the side from the outside of the headlight doors.

lamp should look like this one. the clear side is for the cornering lamp that turns on when the running lights are on and the signal light is turned on. the amber is the marker lamp thats on when the running lights are on. With your crystal clear corner lamps they will require a amber bulb to replace the clear bulb thats there now. check the rpo code in the trunk to see if the car came equipped from the factory
T87 : LAMP, CORNERING lamps. here is the link for your rpo codes 91 caprice. I did this on my sons car 4 years a go good luck and welcom to A/F http://www.marshu.com/images-website/car/gm-firebird-camaro-rpo-car-door-manufacturer-codes/gm-firebird-camaro-GM-RPO-car-codes.pdf http://i8.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/c7/47/04c0_1.JPG

Ok Thanks I will need to tie in another bulb to fit with the assemblies I ordered i guess i can tie them in with the side marker or turn signal somehow. My car is a 91 9c1 350 caprice ill have some pictures once the corner lights and new grill are on it.

Ok so according to the RPO numbers mine was not equipped with the cornering lamps just side markers. And By the way if anyone is looking for a used set of head light assemblies and side marker assemblies, W/O cornering lamps they're yours free if you can pay shipping.

Do not parallel them with the side marker lamps. You can't even use the same ground, since they ground through the turn signal filament of the turn/park lamp near them. The cornering lamps must have their own circuit, otherwise they will flash lust like the side markers, and very dimly at that. You might be able to use a logic module to operate them. Otherwise, you'll have to replace or rewire the turn signal switch.

what if I parrallel them with the turnsignals on the headlight assembly

if your good with auto wiring you could use this link infromation to compleat your cornering lamps:http://www.6066gmcguy.org/turn-off-light.htm

I know it's off topic, but Blue Bowtie, It's good to see you're keeping your car stored this time of year as opposed to letting the salt attack it.

Pete,

I keep all the summer cars stored. Three of them have never even seen gravel, let alone salt:
