I replaced all my bulbs when i bought my car & my blinkers in my bumpers work but the ones in the corners don't. What's my problem???
Every light on my car works except those.... is there a relay or something i don't know about?

did you replace the corner bulbs? the really tiny ones?

There should be 2 bulbs in the corner lenses. The front one (under the clear part of the lens) is a parking light, should come on with the head-lights. The one under the amber part of the lens is kindof a side-marker turn-signal, and comes on with the head-lights, but blinks as a turn-signal... I don't know if that helps at all... I don't know exactly how they're wired, but if neither side works, it's probably the flasher relay.

Like i said, i have replaced all the bulbs. I know how it's supposed to work, the corners and bumpers flash together with the headlights off and alternate with them on. My blinkers work fine otherwise (not fast & no noises) & my running lights work fine also. I'm just confused to why the corner blinkers don't work when everything else is fine.

Did you replace em with double contact bulbs?

I replaced them with the bulbs that r listed in the manual only orange in color since i have clear corners.

Not really sure what your problem is...you replaced your bulbs but the corners dont work?...they dont blink? do they even light up? if they do, do they light up w/ the headlights or not? or totally not at all?:flash:

The front bulbs (running lights) in the corners work fine but the side bulbs (blinker) don't come on at all. I'm stumped....:confused:

thats weird because if you're bulb's out, then other blinkers will hyperblink...try putting back the old bulb and check...if they work again, get a double fillament blinkers in yellow to replace em.:flash:

it never had the bulbs in it when i bought it so i don't know the last time they worked. i'll try different bulbs but i don't think that's the problem.

I wonder if you reversed the plugs by accident...just a thought...

i can't, they have different sockets, besides my running lights work fine & they're in the front socket.
