Dumb question about park/running lights
My 2002 430 coupé is an American model and has no daytime running lights. Not a problem, I can turn on my lights. My question; why are there no front park lights? Position one on the headlight switch turns on the marker lights, front fenders, rear tails, rear corners. Position 2 turns on the xenon headlights. If I pull the switch, I get fog lights. My high beams are smaller the centre lights. The turn signals/4ways are the mirrors, the lights in the main headlight and the tails. Is this normal? So no front mount park lights?

The high beam enclosures have both the parking lights and the high beams.
If you need new bulbs for the parking lights, you may want to contact AZN OPTICS - they have great bulbs at great prices, and they won't burn out in a week or trigger a dead bulb warning like some other vendors. My AZN Optics parking light bulbs are probably over 5 years old.
Tell them Marcus from the Southwest Star magazine sent you. You're not getting a discount, but tell him anyway.

Thanks! The bulbs of course are a weird bulb that isn't found just anywhere. H6W bulb. I did modify some bulbs to fit but the wattage is too low 4.3 watts vs 6 watts so it's still throwing a bulb out code.
