Corner lamp pain..

I just got my new corner lamps.. and of course theres a problem.. The male connection that came with the corner lamps only has 2 prongs ( black)and one plastic prong, but the female connection from the vehicle is 3 pronged plus a plastic. Original is yellow plug. What's up with that???

You don't have it figured out. Twist the bulb holder out of the original corner lamps, and then twist it into the new lamps.

It's all the chrome you've added to the car. It's causing it to short out. Remove the chrome shift gate and that might lower the threshold enough.

I think when you start by using derogatory terms, it seems more like you're the one who needs to grow up... and if you were, you'd gain a lot more help.

Into the ignore list... go ahead and have the final word, because I won't be able to read it.

Thus far in all my posts to this forum, I have been nothing but thankful and courteous.. If I am going to receive derision from a member then they should expect to receive it back. If some individuals are to infantile to take a little ribbing, then they shouldn't start up. Instead of offering inanity try offering assistance, after all we are here because we all are MB enthusiasts..

It is a shame Scorchie apparently had nothing to offer but sarcasm since the beginning of this post. From his other posts I saw actual MB knowledge and good advice ..
