Xenon Headlight Amber Corner Bulb?

3002 tii · 07-14-2019, 08:53 PM

Anyone know what's the oem part number for bulb that lights up the amber strip on the xenon headlight?

The one up in the top outer corner?
That's a WY5W.
Not monitored. Any cheap LED will work fine. Replaced mine with white.

Weird because I got a bulb out indicator on the dash. When I flipped the headlights on, the only noticeable bulb that was out was what I thought was the amber strip (only appeared partially lit).

Thing is, it's not a strip on mine, it's a corner.
The only thing on mine that's a "strip" is the turn signals along the bottom.
They run at reduced duty cycle when the parking or headlights are on.
Those are H21W, and of course are monitored.

another thing to consider is that bulb adapter (stick) have different markings, I heard from forums that they are different, try to swap them and see if error goes away
