    Hey I have a quick question about my headlights..

    When I put my HID's in I disabled the drl's on the car because I didn't want the headlights on all the time. When I disabled the drl's I just unplugged a harness from underneath the glove box, and I've noticed this for awhile but I am not sure if it was doing this before I unplugged the harness.. There is a little bulb on the driver side that doesn't light up and the amber light works and then on the passenger side its completely opposite... When I use my blinkers all the ambers work..
    I just plugged the harness back in to see if they went back to normal and I started the car and the drl's came on like they should (light switch completely off); then I clicked the switch to parking lights and no extra lights came on besides that little white one in the passenger side light and with the lights on all the way it was still the same thing (no ambers at all). Its not that big of deal to me just wondering if anyone knows whats going on with it..
    **Also how do you replace those small white bulbs?? I didn't really see anyway to get at them from behind the headlight.


    Driver side: Amber and no little white light

    I just started my car again and turned the lights on after unplugging the harness again after testing it out from being plugged in in and now no Ambers at all unless I use the blinkers and only the little white light besides the headlights... So i'm assuming its the harness getting unplugged and plugged back in..

    Yeah I got that... I figured out how to get them little bastards out too, hand gets pretty scratched up but the finally came loose. I just ordered 2 green leds for the parking lights so I'll have to see how that looks when they come in.
