A list of what bulb goes where?  I want/need to replace them all.  I hit a bump or train tracks and I loose left rear turn signal.

Or right front turn signal. Or left rear brake light.  Hit another bump, or next day, and problem gone.

I need to clean all bulb sockets, so I might as well replace all the bulbs (many original from 2005).

I can't just pull them all and make a list, as I need to drive to store to get bulbs.

I've tried to search the sight with no success.  Truthfully I'm old and not good with computers.

Any help appreciated.  Direction to site posting, if one already exists.  Or maybe the quantity of each different bulb.

Got a couple bulbs for tail lights (Carquest's referance#) and replaced right rear.  Brake and turn sig now working fine.

Socket was a bit cruddy, but cleaned up OK.

Next comes dropping the front panel and doing both headlights.  All bulbs as only doing this once.

Just have to build up courage to drop front body work.

If you are going after the front headlights I strongly suggest to think about doing the headlight relay mod while you have the front clip off. But once you have done it once or twice it isn't that big of a job dropping the front clip.  Good luck.

The relay mod is done inside the car beside the SAM. The front end does not to be off to do it.

Yes that's true but I located my relays etc under the front clip rather than inside the car. I used two relays, one for each low and high beams. Yes again not "needed" but I over kill it just to be safe...lol. To each their own.

Glenn replaced the front left turn signal bulb (burnt out), which is part of his mod to turn signals.

This seems to have cleared up the strange clicking when brakes applied with full headlights.

I'm cautiously optimistic, hoping that this works.  Nothing on this car surprises me.

I'll keep everyone posted.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Success, sort of.  Turn signals work fine after 3 weeks.

Now I have only one 'fog' light, being used as DRLs via Glenn.'s mod.  Bulbs are LED so probably not burnt out.

Might be socket connection or wiring screwed up when front assy loosened for new turn signal bulb (see above).

I'll pull centre grill to see what I can, when I get a chance,  Busy time of year.

Thought I'd wash the car because it's Spring and, well, I forgot what colour it is.  Seriously, treated the car to a wand wash, complete with foaming brush.  Blew $4, but nothing's too good for Lil'Toot.  It came out looking great.... and red!

Drove around a bit to 'blow-dry' the excess water away.  I don't know why, but when I got home, both my fog lights/DRLs are now working (see my previous post).  I'm not sure weather my car is haunted or possessed.  Can't wait to find out what

the next symptom and adventure will be.

I still love it.
