front corner & side lights dont work

[j0hnny02]

Hi I just bought a 1993 geo prizm 1.6 and it came with an Astrostart car starter. I noticed both front corner and side marker light werent working. so I checked the fuse (which was fine) and replaced both side marker bulbs and the upper corner bulbs looked fine. Should I still replace the upper corner bulbs just in case they are burnt out?? anyother Ideas to try? Oh all the taillight bulbs work fine.

When you say side lights and corners what do you mean? The lower, all orange lights in the bumpers are the turn signals and only light up when the turn signal is on, and do not come on as a solid light. Make sure the turn signal works. The corner lamps themselves next to the headlights turn on whenever you turn on your lights. Which did you change the bulbs on (assuming the corners?).

I just changed the two outter orange bumper lights. The orange inner turn light still works, so does the dash and tail signal lights all work. As for the upper corner light I didnt change them. They didnt seem burnt out or anything but I will change the upper clear corner lights tomorrow after work just in case.

So yea all i had to do was replace all the bad bulb and they all work. one is still giving me a little problem but all i have to do is clean off the corosion and it should be good, its just not staying in. keeps popping out a bit just enought to not work..if not junk yard here I come.

make sure to wear gloves when you handle the bulbs since the oil from your fingers will certainly shorten the lifespan.

I believe the corner lights use #921's. I'm thinking about changing out the factory orange bumper lights with those clear bumper lights and using LED amber 1156 bulbs. Right now I'm using PIAA brighter white filament bulbs

194 in the corners...

The one made them all not work, since the bulb was fusing the connection together and causing a short.

Yea Rip your right I think it is just that one that made the other three bulbs go dead..all the other sockect and contacts looked good except the one bad one and yea they are all 194 bulbs

The corners should not be connected to the turn signal circuit in anyway, given the orange turn signals on the bumpers do not light up solid unless you've modified them.

Also, you don't need to worry about handling 194s with gloves. They simply do not get hot enough for it to matter. They're only 5watts.

All of the lights are working now and thats all I needed. Thanks for all the help guys
