they might be disconnected then... check if they are receiving electricity and if they are, check the bulbs.

No, your turn signals turn on only when you turn on your turn signals in the cabin. You are thinking of the PARKING lights that come on when you turn on the headlights.

I do not know what that round bulb socket is for, I figure maybe a running light, but since I don't have them, I wouldn't know.

The headlights are a single element bulb right? Meaning the high and low beams are 2 separate bulbs. Instead of being a composite bulb, which would puit the high and lows in one bulb...

They (the spot in question) look like they could be for the high beams. And since you have an HID kit, that would make sense.

01-03 Headlights pwn j00


01-03 headlights have dual element bulbs, which means only one headlight (9003) The spot in question is just a normal single fillament bulb (194) which turns on with the parking position on the control, and also when the headlights are turned on. The bulb in question does not blink

Now those bulbs where burned out and I replaced them

2 more questions.

Im pretty sure my turn signals are also supposed to light up with my headlights on, stupid HIDs probably arnt hooked up correctly

Second, when I was changing the bulbs there was another smaller harness connector just sitting there wiht nothing connected to it. anyone know what it is? the car did come with shitty foglights that didnt work or where hooked up, is it possible that that what it was for or?
