Hello all...have an unusual problem that's cropped up...my parking lights and front marker lights are not coming on and yet the rear tail lights and marker lights are? I did replace the parking lights with led's and they were working just fine with the front marker lights for months.....just strange that only the front marker lights and the parking lights don't work but all the rest work fine....any help would be greatly appreciated.......yes I did check fuse 13 and it's fine

Bgw70

did you check the voltage at the fuse or the light socket?

NEWONE1

voltage is good...did notice when i turn on lights the parking lights flicker for a second...sometimes they do come on (with front markers), but when i switch them off and turn back on they won't light up again...just baffled how the rear tails and markers work and the front markers and parking lights won't?????They're all on the same circuit...could it be the led's are causing a problem now???

Bgw70

it is possible the LEDs are causing a problem. What about the ECU for the lights, could it be the issue?
i don't have my wiring diagrams in front of me...did you look at the diagrams?

NEWONE1

Thanks Bgw 70...don't have wiring diagrams and not familiar with ecu for the lights..........I'm thinking led's but why now after they were working for months and still do very intermittently??? ( no error codes either)...If I have to pull them, which is a real PIA job..I'll go back to the old bulbs..UGH!
Just doesn't make sense with the way the lighting is working right now....half on half off when they're on the same circuit?????

As I was saying in your other thread about the brake LED's, there's something funny with how the ECU works and its proper set resistance. I have LEDs in the parking lamps and the bumper side markers but I don't have the issues you seem to be describing. My parking lamp LEDs are from ijdmtoy.com and my bumper marker LEDs are from either Advanced or AutoZone (the are a 4LED "honeycomb").

The 168 bump marker LED's look similar to this...

Thanks... I'm pretty sure it's the led's.....could have been for interior use only...........can you give me the product model number for the parking lamps...and if Bgw70 put led driving lamps in what were they......I only want to do this installation one more time...lol

Sorry, I really don't remember the model number of the LEDs I am using as the side marker lights. They look like exactly like the photo I posted. I got them at either Advanced AutoParts, AutoZone, O-Reilly, or possibly even PepBoys. Those are the only stores, I frequent. Try going to each one's website and put in "168 LED," and look for the same bulb as the photo. I will link the parking lamps I purchased from iJDMtoy.

Truthfully, any product from iJDMToy should work for your issue. Every bulb I have purchased from them has worked without flaw. My entire car is LED, interior and exterior, and I use them for nearly everything (except the parking lamps as I stated before).

i only installed interior LEDs.

Thanks guys.....I ordered the parking lights,,,,,,,hopefully that's the cause ...if not, back to the incandescent ...

Haven't changed the led's yet but wondering, other than the fuse,are there any relays or ballasts to the parking and marker lights that could be faulting?
