Quick Headlight Question
I have the annoying fast-blinking left turn signal going on, along with the lamp out warning light. After a bit of checking, it looks like it's the parking light that's toast (#5 in the attached image). So, not an "important" light but I'd like to get back to normal turn signal blinks.
Anyway, Real OEM takes me to part #15 in this link Which, takes me to this part Instead of spending $35 for the socket assembly, can I just swap out that bulb? If so, is it the bulb from this link (Parking Light Bulb Size: 2825LL) Thanks! -Mike

Part #15 is for the Halo - the #1 light in your attached picture.
The bulb you want is either #9 or #10 in the RealOEM link |

Use the screwdriver that is supplied in the small tool kit in the trunk to remove and install the assembly that holds the bulb. There seems to be something special about it (a small dimple on it perhaps) that makes removing and installing the bulb assembly easy. Also, there are two of those bulbs per side, may as well change both at the same time.

That's not the parking light. 5 and 6 are both turn signals.
The bulb you want is #9 in the realoem diagram. #10 bulb is for the parking light. Number 7 in the first post.

Thanks for all the help!
I pulled out the bulb last night just to be sure and found the culprit. Time to order the new one.

That looks like the halo bulb. I believe the turn signal bulb is orange.

It was the right bulb - installed last night. #9 in the RealOEM diagram (PN 63217160788), exactly as StickMon described.

You're right #5 and #6 are white, I must have been thinking of #7 which is orange. The AE is a 10w halogen. |
