Park Light Error
So my left park light and left license plate light was out.
Todays my brother and I took out the bumper and replaced the left park light and my xenons, guess what?
My right park light is not turning on now... Weird?
Bumper took forever btw....
Found out my wiper plugs are broken and they dont work.
Next weekend,
License plate bulb, rear subwoofer needs to be fixed.
Oh boy.

Why did you take off the bumper to change the side marker bulb? You could have just removed a few plastic push pins from the wheel liner, then reached in to swap the bulb. My dealer replaced mine for $15, including bulb & labor because I didn't want to get my hands dirty. You made the job a lot tougher on yourself, and likely didn't get a good connection or didn't hook up a wire after you put the bumper cover back on.

It was the park light, which is located in the headlights below the flicker lights. I also wanted to change my low beams at the same time.

Yes, you should be able to reach that by removing part of the wheel liner. Were your HUD bulbs burned out? Because those should never need changing and very rarely burn out.

Either way, the bumper needed to come off in order to get all the lights into place.
My HID's were not burned out but at nights my left one was flickering, these last a maximum of 10 years depending on usage and hours. Flickering and discoloration is an early sign that the light will be going out soon. So, knowing that I had to fix the park light, I decided ahead to get new bulbs and change them at the same time.
