Exterior Bulb Out???

E92Monstah · 07-15-2011, 06:27 PM

I got a warning lamp this morning indicating I have an exterior light out. I checked everything -- headlamps, high-beams, halos, turn signals, brake lights, backup lights, and even the license plate bulbs. I cannot find any lights out. Any ideas? I have upgraded H8 LED halos, but I installed them over a year ago without any issues? Do you think they could be the problem?

Brake lights have two bulbs. Have someone press brakes and carefully examine the lights.

Also you didn't list fog lights?

Oh, that's right. I'll go check it out as soon as it gets darker. Thanks!

Same thing happened to me and it turned out being one of the two bulbs in my left brake light.

for future reference, if a fog light is out, it is a different logo than the regular exterior bulb warning
