Default Tailight problem

The far rightside section of the passenger side taillight doesn't light up when the lights are on . Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? Is it just a fuse or what? Thanks!

Have you checked for a burnt bulb yet? Tried wiggling the socket incase it's a loose connection?

I'm Jimmy. The only person I really met was Tom(black V6).. I bought his 2 kicker solo barics. I talked to you about 6+ months ago. Thats when I just got a 2000 Black Z28 and you're the one that told me about the !Grill mod hehe.. I dunno if you remember me or not. I had to sell the Z, no more job. Now I just got a 2000 WS6, pewter, 6spd. I'm working at SYSCO food services, thats why I can afford it! But I dont think you had the Vortech last time I talked to you.

Oh Yeah!.. I remember that!. Congrats on the WS6 brother! and Pewter no less! Man I wanted one of those things really bad but they a tad out of my price range when I last went Fbody Shopping. As far as the Vortech, yeah I threw that on back in February and have been enjoying the heck out of it ever since.

So what you got planned for the WS6?

Thanks man. I am wanting to get an air lid, MAF ends and a Pro 5.0 shifter. But after that I dunno. Have any suggestions? I was thinking about the LS1 motorsports lid. It's on sale for like $95. Any other mods you think I should get first or after the ones I listed?

Go for the lid first.. That's for sure going to be your biggest bang for the buck. Maf ends are questionable IMHO. Do you still have the stock Exhaust? being it's a WS6 exhaust it should flow pretty decent. The Pro 5.0 is good idea!.. Add a short stick to it and you'll be set!

I just found out that the fbodyhideout is having another GP on the GMMG exhuast. They were having one 2 weeks after I got my Z28. Now they are having one 3 weeks after having my WS6!! I think I'm gonna go for that since it's gonna be on sale. I loved the sound on my Z. Then I'll do the lid and filter right after.

Actually I thought about it. I'm probably just gonna go for the lid first instead of the exhaust. The WS6 should be flowing good enough for now!

$650 i believe.. Do you like the sound of your magnaflow exhuast? you don't have LTs or an ORY do ya? How does it sound?Loud?Quiet? Raspy? I was thinking about a cheaper exhuast system than the GMMG since they all are pretty much the same or close enough!! I wanna get the MECHAM(?) oval tips too. I'm planning on lid, filter, shifter, then exhaust.

650! Ouch.. Still a little rich for my blood for an exhaust. I hear everyone loves the sound but I think the tips look cheap on them. Never heard one in person but from the sound clips it reminds me of the Dynomax Race bullet I used to have on my car. It sounded pretty awesome but had a lot of drone. The Magnaflow sounds good outside the car. Pretty Mellow, has some bass to it and nice and quiet up on the highway - No Drone whatsoever. I still have my stock Manifolds & Cats, I hear with LT's and an OYP the Magnaflow sounds about perfect. I'm going to be selling mine here shortly though.. I'm after a Borla CB. I'm a sucker for the way those Tips look and have always liked the sound of Borla and the adjustability. Used of course.. Not looking at a new one..

Your mod plans sound good in that order!.
