I installed clear corners and ordered a set of wedge bulbs which light up just fine but I get an error code in the dash saying left side marker malfunction and right side as well. What wattage do I need, specs/

It's about the current they draw. Any 194 incandescent bulbs should be fine. Did you change them to LED bulbs?

194/T10/w5w bulbs are what you need. Same bulb, just has many designations.

If you have LEDs, they have to be canbus type.

Might as well not bother taking those out of the package. Hate to tell you, none of those will work. You can't just use any LED bulbs. You'll need LED with specific canbus functionality integrated into the unit or else you'll get error codes and lights will cut off.

Our units will work if interested:

8000K (white with a slight bluish hue): http://www.aznoptics.com/index.php?m...&products_id=9
