this is a dumb question. Is there a switch for the clearance STRIP?

i just noticed the light on my clearance strip does not turn on. the bulbs are fine. Any ideas?

thx

 

mine did the same. just hit your headlight with our fist, it should then flicker on. if that dont work change out the bulb or use that as an excuse to upgrade to 06 headlights

 

No switch. They come on with the park lights.

How do you know the bulbs are fine if it's not coming on?

You may have to go in there and make sure the bulbs arent loose if you are confident that they are ok. I didnt have this problem from STOCK bulbs. But a lot of AFTERMARKET bulbs dont fit as snug as the factories and I've seen this happen from time to time where they just got loose.

Both at the same time could be interesting though. Look in your manula(manual) and see if there's a fuse JUST for those lights.

 

i unplugged mine...i think that **** is ugly

 

thx for all the input....its the stock bulb.....i took it out and tried it on my bros G35 coupe and it works....maybe there is a fuse.

appreciate the help

 

just tap on the headlight..mine did the same thing...stock bulbs...buddy tapped the headlight and it came right on

 

Ugly... no just begging to be modded...do you think this is ugly?

 

how did you do your lights like that

 

yeah but im not going to spend an amount of money(possibly even alot of money) to throw some leds in the strip when i can just unplug it and not even worry about it

i dont even wanna know how much it cost total to do that project in the above picture..i have better things to spend my money on

 

do the 06 models have a clearance strip?

 

^ no they do not

 

You can do it yourself, but if you are like me (not that good with stuff like that) you can go to clearcorners.com and have it done. The mod is expensive, but then again it all depends on what you are after. The cost of the mod is nothing when compared to everything else that is going into my build.

 

Just wait until the plastic divider between the upper and lower light cracks and then replace the entire headlight assembly. If you run your fog lights it will crack, just a matter of time.

 

^ I don't run my fogs...it takes away from the LED mod installed in the fog light chamber.

 

I almost did that but it was going to take too much work to take off the light, take OUT a plastic piece that is in there running along the clearance strip light (its not hollow like I though), and install LED's. I ended up installing them in the mesh and it looks nice to me. I may see what's up with the clearance strip if I can find a cheap pair of factory headlights. Im thinking about putting together a kit to sell.

Mine are SO much brighter. My Avatar was in the middle of the day.
