Front amber lights super bright

BLOWN HOWARD · #1 02-05-2011, 06:03 PM

My front amber lights wich are the farthest out side edge are almost brighter than my head lights. did somebody put the wrong bulb in there for them to do this or is it normal

Mine are actually pretty dim. I think instead of the normal 4 watt bulbs (guessing about the 4 watt rating) they put say .....a 10 watt in there. This might melt the harness or bulb socket so you should put the proper one's in there.

How do you acces these light bulbs i can get to the back of the light in the corner? I tried to remove the two screws that look like they hold the head light assy in and it loosens it but it wont come all the way out do i just pull harder?

no, do not pull. to get to the bulbs, you just squeeze your hands behind the headlight assembly and you can pull the bulb out from there. u do not need to remove the headlights to get to the bulb..nor should you

I think this is normal after the facelift. Mine are bright as s&*$ too.

So should i be worried about this bright as orange bulb? i dam near drowns out the headlights when its coming at you i see more of the orange than of the head lights. and i dont see how you can acces this bulb from the only cover i can reach on the back side of the headlight assy

maybe a picture would help?

do you not have xenon headlamps?

and to take off the headlight assembly, you would need to also pull off the bumper. But like i said, its not necessary to access the bulbs. yes, they are incredibly difficult to reach. Look in the owners manual actually, it probably has better directions than i can explain
