Side Light Warning

I'm getting a "CHECK SIDE LIGHTS" warning and have removed and check both side lights which are both working. Any ideas?

I believe it also refers to your parking lights up front...

check side lights are referring to the front turning signals. I'm having the same problem right now, and have no idea how to change it out.

I just noticed I have an angel eye bulb burned out, maybe this is the problem.

Did replacing the angel eye bulb fix your problem?

I was getting the same thing for about a week and a half. Took I for a wash and it went away!?

Thanks for the answer. Before making a new thread about the same question, I searched and found this thread. I basically have a check side light message, but replace the side and still have the message, but yesterday I found out I had a angel eye burned. I didn't know we can replace the bulb, I'm going to check into this now. I also replaced my dead battery yesterday, I was still having the original one that lasted 8 years, not bad. I bought an Eliminator from Canadian Tire for 150$ and it is a little stronger and come with a 4 years warranty. Also order the rear wiper motor this am, I now only need a dash button kit and replace front shock and hopefully I'll be ok for a good while.
