Actually mine came on one turn before the headlights are on.... not with the turnsignals.... maybe it was a year specific thing....
Mine just popped out.. no screws...

Re: Side Marker/Bumer Lights

They are supposed to stay constantly lit while the parking or headlights are on. They don't flash with the turn signals at all.
As for replacing them, the lens just pops out and you twist the bulb housing out of the lens. Take out the bulb out and go compare it with others at an autozone or something. They make a clear and amber bulb for them.
If they don't work even when you replace them, then there might be a fuse for it. If not then I'd say you have a short in the wiring somewhere.

Re: Side Marker/Bumer Lights

I just replaced my bumper lights with the top pic ones and I found out that both of my lights were out. So that's why they weren't going on for me. So now I have the top "crystal" clear ones on the driver side and the other clear ones on the passenger side and I can't decide which ones I like the best. Does anyone know if those led bulbs would work good for the bumper lights. I was going to get them but I then I thought, wouldn't they just shoot directly out at people and not light up the marker?

Thanks to everyone who posted. I orderd a pair of clear corners off of ebay yesterday. I'll just to to wally world and pick up a new set of bulbs. Hope they work. (Probably gonna get blue if I can).

First of all, you had no reason to say what you did. Im not on here to post smart ass remarks and start an arguement over nothing, but when one is said for no reason (i.e. "if it has bulbs, its supposed to light up, stop bitchin and replace them they are cheap") or something like that that really wasn't called for because the question is valid. (hence I got a few responses that said that their's didn't light up and their bulbs were not out, so other people are having the problem not just me) Nobody wants to get talked down to like a dumbass. This is a forum. People ask questions. People give responses. I asked the question to save time. If it wasn't the bulbs, then that would be a waste to replace them. I was hoping it was a switch somewhere that turned them on, and the problem would be solved. However, since the majority said to replace the bulbs and they should work, thats what I'll do. Don't take offense, just thought it would be fair to reply to you accusing me of being a smart ass for no reason. Peace.
