Odd problem with my parking light...
This is strange. I just replaced all the bulbs in my 87. But now, my passenger side parking light (the one next to the fog light) only comes on when I turn on my right blinker...any ideas? The other side parking light functions fine.

Re: Odd problem with my parking light... (TIMSPEED)
Hey Tim,
This happened to me before..but there can be 2 reasons.One is sometimes the bulb was plugged in the wrong way and didnt lock and seat inside.Remove and reinstall the bulb again.
The other is to move the wires up and down or twist them at the back of the socket and see if theres a weak conection.
I had a socket do this..it didnt work all the time...I twisted the socket a full circle on the wires and it began to work fine.Strange eh?
But check the bulb first and be sure its seated properly all the way inside first.
Btw,I installed amber parking lights up front and with the yellow lenses, it really looks sharp.Its a much more orange/amber color now then before.
