Hey was up guys... So any help would be much appreciated. Last night i pulled over to get something out of my trunk when i noticed my passenger tail light was not on. i pulled the bulb out and saw that it was toast. I purchased new bulbs from walmart which was the closest place last night and i was really wasn't trying to get pulled over... anyway the same light works when the brakes are pressed in but when the healights are on and the tailights should be on that one passenger one does not work??

ANY HELP PLZ? point me in the right direction or if you have had to deal with this hook me up!

 

I just replaced this same bulb in my '96....since you have the facelift tail lights yours are probably different than the bulb set-up in mine. Anyway, after replacing all 4 visible bulbs, I later found there was a fifth bulb that was the culprit. It's a very tiny bulb, and was the one that operated the tail lights when the headlights are on.

 

thanks bro! i appreciate the input.... by the way i forgot to mention the problem was with my 98 not the 01 .... obnoxious could you kinda describe where i could find the little bulb? i took off the whole plate and disconnected the harness... is the smaller bulb you talk about still in there by itself seperated from the plate?

 

The bulb I believe you need to replace is underneath the plastic piece that houses all the other bulbs. There should be a wire that runs directly to the back of the tail light housing. This wire is also connected to the plastic piece holding all the other bulbs. You just twist that sucker loose and pull the tiny bulb out. I'll see if I can find the bulb number you will need.....I couldn't find it at a Wal-Mart, I had to go to a PepBoys to find it.

edit--I'm pretty sure this is the bulb you needhttp://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...uestid=1683683

 

obnoxious.. thanks again man good looking out.... hey the link you gave me it says license plate bulb is that the same type of bulb i need for the tail? just askin to make sure..

THanks a lot man i'm about to go outside and fix that light.

 

I am almost a 100% positive it is the same bulb. As soon as I can run out to my car, I can give you the exact number you need. Give me a sec...

This is the exact bulb I used to replace the burnt out one:

cool man thanx hey i took out the plastic piece that holds all the bulbs and all i have is the wire harness that connects to that plastic piece and that's about it... i dont see anywhere where there would be a smaller bulb.... am i looking in the wrong place?

 

think it could be a fuse?

 

Let me see if i can find a picture of the back of the light assembly to show you.

 

obnoxious ... i just did a check through my fuses and my right side passenger tail light/brake light fuse was blown on my way to the autoparts to buy one see if that fixes the problem
