You can get the clear bumper lights on ebay. Just put in clear bumper lights and search for your car when the items come up.

Welcome! Check your grounds. It could just be a loose terminal clamp.

i checked those does the alarm have like switch that doesnt let the car start or something cuz i think it might have something 2 do with it

I don't think our cars have immobilizer or an advance security system unless you have aftermarket alarm installed. It could be your ignition keyswitch that is causing the car not to start, but i could be wrong.

i start 2 love this car more and more every im ready for some mods now

Seems like your starter might be going. Common problem for TL.

check battery cables they might be loose..

There is an immobiliser in the factory system but it's a really crude one.
