Ensure your corner bulbs are correctly (dual fillament). A while back i had ghetto taped my corner bulbs to do what you describe.

As far as your alarm and rest of the stuff...???? don't know....check your fuses.

Whaddyamean they still "Blink"?

The "Blinker" relay is in the driver's kick panel and will still make sound as well as the rest of your indicators (inside and out) - even if you have no bulbs at all in the front.

a friend told me to take it to auto zone and they could run a diagnostic to see where the problem is. is this true? i thought the only way they could do that is if the "check engine" light came on.

wish I could just hand you the extra sets of 1157's that I have to test it... But did you also try swapping the bulbs from pasenger to driver and vice versa? Do your Hazards work?

EDIT: nevermind you just answered my question




When you turn your parking lights on, only the tailights turn on??? very odd

:-?
