Default City light w/ relay diagram questions. Kris Hansen?

I've been searching for a while and came across these diagrams. The relay method appears to be originally designed for pre 99.5's, but am I correct that it will also work for >99.5, specifically with halogens? There appears to be some discussion about foglights, but I'm also assuming this is for earlier models. This is hard to see here, click the link for the actual diagram.

Kris, in your picture below, what's the difference between a parking light and a corner light? Is this the same relay as shown in the diagram above?

Maybe this stuff will be apparent when I actually get into my lights, but for now I'm confused.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext32.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext32.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default The 'corner light' is the amber marker light/signal light.

I prefer to have them come on with the lights, but some don't. That's the beauty of using the relay to switch them. you can use any single throw double pole 12v relay. i happen to be able to get bosch ones really cheaply, which is why I use them.

Default What is the parking light then?

Thanks for your help. I'll probably be less confused when I can see everything. I bought the wire from ECS so I guess I could just cut splice into the corner light wire.
