I don't know if this is relevant, however, I have an '88 Civic and had
problems with my running lights as well. In my case, they simply stopped
working. After a little while I noticed that moving the head light switch
around caused them to flicker on. I disassembled the head light switch,
cleaned up the contacts with some 400 grit sandpaper, lubed it with some
silicone grease. They have been working now for about 3 or 4 years now
without any problems. Your head light switch may need a similar overhaul.
