Warning light?

gnome011 · 08-28-2008, 08:39 AM

I replaced my orange reflectors with some painted ones last night. When I got in my car to drive this morning I had a warning light come up.... Could this be due to changing the reflector??? The warning light looks like a lightbulb. Is this possible???

Def not due to replacing your reflectors...
Thats a purely cosmetic mod should not affect your car's electronics or mechcanicals in any way...

Look in your owners manual to see what the warning indicator was for.

Yeah, thats what I plan on doing later on. I didnt think thats what it was. It was just weird. Thanx!

are you talking about the ones off the bumper or actual signal lights right next to the xenon lights? if you changed your orange bumper relector to painted one without messing up the wiring or take the bulbs out, you shouldn't be having any issue. if you changed your signal lights that's right next to hid lights, you WILL get warning lights, unless you put resister...

I did the ones on the bumper. Not the ones on the headlight. Its weird!

you sure you didn't misplaced the bulb or pull the wire or anything?

I didnt change any bulbs. Just the reflectors on the side bumper.

You must have knocked a bulb or wire off place. The side reflectors is not electrically connected.

+1. Check to make sure you don't have any bulb out.

What warning light is it? Can you describe it or better yet take a picture of it?
