Glad to see you got it all figured out. Why are you taking your black housing lights out? Afraid the salt is gonna ruin them?

Wow i was just gonna post a question about corner lights also, i have the same problem, i bought some Black diamond headlights from ebay, not sure if it was great idea but i cracked one oem headlight and figured i'd just get the jdm set and see how they look on the car. Well i had been driving for about 4 weeks without realizing that my corner lights werent working and that fast clicking always was audible because i had a problem with my front right oem corner light b4. Same problem, kept blowing my fuses.. couldnt for the life of me think why. But now i will go buy a bunch of fuses and get a new bulb. What bulb number does the corner light use? and should i find a particular model? or company that makes em? or does it really not matter?

I had to take mine back to the mechanic with mine, he said it was loose fuses. Even though I changed the fuses twice and pushed them in all the way. So in the end is might be best just to get a mechanic to check it unless you have a line tester and know your electrical stuff.

As for the corner lights they're 1157A if you want yellow, 1157 if you want white, I see you're from chilltown, same here, Pep Boys only carries Sylvania, dont know about Autozone I dont bother with them.
