Okay, so I cheaped out a bit and bought MTEC 194s for my clearance and corner bulbs. I figured the stock bulbs were just a lil too yellow and dim for me. Of course, on my way home, one of my MTEC H4 fogs goes out (after 3 months) and i have to put the stock fogs back in. Anyways, so while i'm in there, i throw in the new wedge bulbs. I'm notincing they get really hot while i'm installing/testing them out. So not ever a week, like only 5 days later, i notice that all four bulbs are out. now i don't know which fuse controls these bulbs, or if it even is a fuse.... I run my lights 24/7 nowadays so i'm thinking they might have burned out. However, they have the blue film on them so I can't really tell. Can anyone help me please? I'm getting sick of my car looking deficient. Thanks in advance.

Never buying MTEC again.

 

You especially for wedge bulbs you never ever ever ever are suppose to touch the glass part. never put your finger prints on it. if you did that could of been a factor of a shortened life + cheap bulbs to begin with

 

If all your clearance strip/corner markers+ taillights are out it is a fuse. The fuse is located behind the battery.

 

do you know which one? All I see are engine management things under there.

 

You are looking in the wrong fuse box. There is a third one behind the battery. You need to take apart part of the passenger side winshield trim to get to it.

 

Pulled the clearance strip bulbs out....crushed one just to make sure i wasn't crazy. The wires were SCORCHED!!! I got 12V5W 194 bulbs for all of them..... granted they were MTEC's, but do i have a problem with my electronics, or were all four bulbs just shyte?
Thanks.
