yo idk if you can help me. but when i turn my headlights on at night, my HIDS go on, but my turn signal lights (that are supposed to be on at the same time as the headlights) are not on. It's not a dead bulb because my hazard relays work and the turn signals work. Although, when I lock/unlock my car all the lights except the left and right blinkers flash. Any suggestions?

I've heard things about pouring blinker fluid, my flasher is broken, or i need to check my fusebox.

How would I know? How do I access my fusebox in my 05 TL? Which wires would I be looking at in particular.

Pardon for my "noob"ness >.<

Thanks again!

 

The parking lights are not the turning signal( same bulb different circuits). try a new bulb or if you have a voltmeter. Check voltage. When you lock the car the parking lights are what blinks not the turning signal. Does your tail lights turn on?

 

yeah that tails turn on, i'm thinking i would have to access my fusebox somehow.. Acuras charging me 120$ just to diagnose the problem. I really don't think the bulbs burnt out. So you're guessing one of the wires are messed up? What would I have to do?

 

Just looked at the schematics. If tails, and Side markers are on then its not a fuse or relay issue cuz its the same output. replace the bulbs or check the bulb connector itself. make sure the bulbs are on tight.

 

ok thanks! I'm going to try opening it up and checking the connector and retightening the bulbs. If done correctly, my parking lights should turn on while my headlights are on correct? If it is any help, when my car alarms all my lights flash except the "parking lights"

 

have you tried to replace the bulbs? if not replace them. 7443 has to leads inside the bulb. one for parking and one for turn signal.

 

correct on parking lights on when headlights are on. thats becuz either you have bad bulbs or the connection. make sure the bulb leads are not twisted and placed correctly in the connector.
quick question, did you change the bulbs or are they stock? did both stop working at the same time?

 

it's a little OT but somewhat related... my front turn signal bulb went out and i'd like to replace it. do i have to remove the headlights (remove bumper) to replace them? or can i replace them from the engine bay? i got the service manual and have been looking for the page that shows me how to and haven't found it yet. i have a 2004

 

remove fender liner clips (just fronts) and stick your hand in there.

 

my lights are stock. For some reason, one day my alarm went off one day, and my parking lights in the front failed to blink whereas my sidemarkers and tails blinked. And ever since, my "parking lights" don't go on when I turn my lights on at night, all that turns on are my headlights. I mean don't get me wrong, it looks cool just having the HIDS, but i really am OCD. Actually, my left parking light stopped working first, and then after a while, my right parking light just stopped working.

 

Where would I go to buy replacement bulbs. Do you have any recommended sites?

 

any carparts store autozone 7443 bulbs. i'd say buy just a regular set of halogens as a tester then upgrade to LEDS. they are only like 4 bucks

 

thanks for the tip. was gonna go through and remove the bumper and housing but this is much easier and quicker. remove 2 clips on each side, reach in and swap.

ya went to autozone and bought some sylvania 7443. they were about $5. but they're the yellow ones. i had clear ones before

 

Pouring blinker fluid? That is a joke and he/she is trying to be an ass because he/she thinks they're smarter than you since you don't know as much as them about cars. Or it just your friend that is trying to be funny.

Anyway, where in NJ are you located? I have a lot of extra bulbs lying around and I can take a look at it as well.
