'Front Park Light' and 'Front Side Marker Light'

Labrex · 10-25-2009, 09:19 AM

Hi, I'm confused as to what the 'Front Side Marker Light' is. From reading the forum, it seems people replace the 'Front Park Light' to get that cleaner look, but does one need to also replace the 'Front Side Marker Light'? What color is it originally and what is the bulb size?

Also, what are some recommended places(s) to purchase the 'Front Side Marker Light' from for those of you that have done so?

Seems like some went with this 2 V-LEDS WHITE 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825 , but it is out of stock at the moment.

Another question I have is under what conditions does the 'Front Side Marker Light' turn on? When Headlights are turned on or switched to =[)(]= ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

The side marker bulb you are asking about is a built-in amber bulb (looks like an LED to me), not as easy to replace, but doesn't mean you can't do it. It's right below the amber side reflecter in the headlights.

The parking light is the one that usually gets replaced, upgraded to an LED bulb (stock is incandescent).

I used the bulbs in your link 2 V-LEDS WHITE 194 13 LED LIGHT BULBS 158 168 2825 to replace the parking lights. They are whiter and brighter than stock. I think they look great. Bummer they are out of stock. I used the same bulb in the rear cargo area.

Is there a thread or instructions anywhere on how to replace or remove the small amber LED under the reflector? I have already replaced my other parking lights with white LEDs, but still annoyed by the single amber LED.
