Front right DRL gone bad
Front right DRL gone bad so recently my blinker stopped blinking and became solid, i checked hazards and all blinkers and found that it was only the outermost corner bulb on the front right drl(daytime running lamp). Strange that this affected all blinking capabilities front and rear. So to make a long story short i am going to replace the drl bulb im just not sure how. can anyone explain???
Yes the issue with the blinker does affect all of them.
Not that hard to change if you actually look at it. It is a twist lock style connector and then you pull the old one out and put new one in.
Most likely you have the same issue as many others with the bulb always busting or going out. I had to replace my whole housing and replace the connector. To finally get mine to work right again.
Housing will run ya, but if its not to bad looking replacing the connector is your best bet if it is has corrosion in it. I eneded up getting a connector for cheap at you local parts store that it the rounded end bulb vs the straight line bulb due to the fact I could not find the same connector type at the time. Works just the same.

Also, take some super glue and run them along any cracks in the front lens to keep water out. That what I did.

The sockets have a little flex lock on them, you have to push it inward then the socket will turn and come out.
If you buy the new socket use butt connectors that shrink wrap around the ends with a lighter to keep the moiture out.
