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 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.

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