I had my blinkers on the other day and drove by some reflective glass. I noticed my side marker blinker wasn't lighting. After i parked, i verified that the blinker was out on the driver's side and figured that I might as well check the passenger side marker as well. Low and behold, that one was out as well. What gives? I took the bulb out of the driver side blinker and looked to see if it was burned out. To my naked eye, it looks to still be good. Should I try a new blinker anyway or could this be more of an electrical problem than anything? Let me know your thoughts. thanks (5th gen base)

 

i would try the bulbs first.

 

I replaced the bulbs in the markers today and the Honda guy said he doesn't think they blink (they only light up when turning on the lights). Am i going crazy, I could swear these things used to blink when I had my indicators on. Can another 5th gen owner verify that the side markers do indeed blink. Thanks

 

^lol what have you been smoking? just messing w/ ya bro. No the markers on the side of the bumper dont blink. They only light up when you turn on your lights.

 

lol, no they don't blink. unless they're wired to.

 

Jokes on me guys, i never noticed that they didn't blink. Really dumb of Honda to make them that way though. A car coming from the side will have a hard time seeing that you are making a turn. I swear i drove by a window once and was making a turn and it looked like the side marker was blinking.
