Yeah these were an absolute bitch to get in and out. Definitely scratched up some paint...


Look great though now all of a sudden my left signal(orange light) bulb is acting up...

When left signaling the indicator blinks really fast, and the front left bulb doesn't light up. Nor does it light up when hazards are activated.

The right side all works as it should.


After searching through old threads I've found that this indicates a bulb is out, or relay issue. Well I don't believe the bulb is out as it lights up fine with the running lights. Only signaling/hazards causes it not to work...

I suppose I'll go out tomorrow and look at the relays? Why would this happen all of a sudden?

****

edit as to not bump:: Yes it was indeed the bulb, what threw me for a loop was that I didn't realize they had 2 filaments inside. The parking coil was fine yet the blinking coil went out.

Thanks!

an unplugged or burned out bulb will give you the rapid blinker on the dash.

yep, my driver bulb looked fine at a glance and the blinking coil in it worked but the parking coil didn't.
