How to install corner bulbs
I got behind there last night and for the life of me I can't see how to replace these. I'm talking about the little bulbs on the side of the lights by the signal bulb? I'm assuming I have to remove the entire light assembly? I stopped by a place today to ask a guy who has a shop here and he said I'd have to remove the whole bumper? WTF....if that's the case, to hell with doing these bulbs....

remove the bumper cover, not your whole bumper.

I've never done either....so I need more specifics. Are you sure this needs to be done to get to this bulb? Have you done it?

OK..thanx for that...I won't even explain why I didn't know which bulb to replace.
So now...this could get really stupid. How do you turn on the cornering lights? I had never checked on these before. I read the section over and over but I couldn't get that light to turn on. I'm confused on what these are even for now? I thought they were the brights....holy shit am I light ignorant....

OK, I figured it out...duh....cornering lights. See, the funny thing is when I ordered these bulbs, I thought they were replacing that little tiny bulb on the side. I always thought the inner bulbs were the high beams.
So I went outside and turned the wheels and they came on. But now my question is...how do you get BOTH to turn on at the same time? I just saw a thread where a guy had both of these on....

Put your car in reverse, both cornering lights should be on (assuming your xenons are on as well).

Oh...ok....so now I'm wondering why they both come on for reverse?
As you can see, I haven't taken the time to figure everything out on my car...I've been too busy modding instead...
