That looks like an antenna I'd put on it to control something. Lol.

x2 on check for electricity. I've never heard of those before.

To the Americans, the parking pole is to help identify where the exact end of the car is, so you don't hit other cars while parallel parking. But, yeah, a power antenna with a lamp at the end is a good description.

To the OP, if the pole itself only has 2 wires, then you'll need to disassemble it to find the issue. Otherwise, if it has 3 or 4, then the LED is a separate circuit you need to connect.

I consider them rather absurd. If you can't park without it, I don't think you should be driving in the first place. Doesn't mean I won't help troubleshoot if I can though...

If it did not look so stupid I would put the curb feelers on my Teg so I would not mark up my TSW stealth rims like I do now.

Hummmm, maybe there is a "electronic" curb feeler, kind of like the backup proximity sensors, going to have to look into that. 94

I think these "curb feelers" are probably the worst looking thing you could add to your car. Why not just move your side view mirros onto your bonnet then put LEDs in there?? It would looks much cooler...

I go in intentionally far from the curb, then adjust my mirror down so I can see where my rear wheel is. No wheel scuffs so far!
