plug it in?

Turn on the turn signal?

Check the fuses?

I tried turn signaling. But it lights up on the one right next to it.

It probably might be the fuse. do you know which one?

That pictures was taken a few mins ago. so i just replaced the bulb.

wait....your telling me that when you dont signal the lights are off.

when you do signal the outermost light stays on and the inner most light does *NOT* Blink?

Fuses are labeled on your fuse box on the inside......did you do any wiring yourself?

Get out a multimeter/voltmeter and hook it up to the connection…then turn the signal on for that direction…..look at it and see if you are getting power. If not there may be a relay out, or a fuse or the light bulb you put in is bad….just because its new doesn’t mean its not broken….I’ve received broken parts before

yes, the outer one stays on and blinks when i turn signal. but the inner one doesn't light up at all.

Fuses are labeled on your fuse box on the inside......did you do any wiring yourself?

i mean't which fuse?

Test the bulb on the other side, see what happens.

visualy verify the bulb condition first.....broken filament....check the connections to see if you get a continuity/resistance whatever you want to do check

look at your interior fusebox label and check the appropriate fuse listed for signal lights.....
or your engine bay fuse box for something similiar

oh dear, prepare to be roasted mate!

I'll save ya, to check the fuse, pull it out and look at it, it will be burnt out in the middle of it thus breaking the circuit. If you can;t see it, put a multimeter across each pin on the continuity setting.

if i'm not mistaken, all 4 bumper lights run thru the small lights fuse so if the outer bumper lights are working, then the fuse can't be blown
