Ok, first all my lights work properly except for the drivers side parking light. when the parking lights or the headlights are on, the drivers side parking light does not turn on, but if i turn on the blinker for that side, it will flash properly? i cant see why the parking light woulndt light up. I just got the camaro this past saturday, and i am not to farmilliar with them, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

If you're talking about the front park lamps, they use dual filament lightbulbs so one filament is burned out.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help lou, whats the best way to replace it? from under the car?

 

You can reach under the bumper and access the park lamp from behind that way, very easy. Just twist the socket out of the housing and the bulb is right there.

I got the socket out of the housing, and as you said one of the filiments was burnt out. Can you describe the way the bulb goes in? i tried looking for a picture of it on google with very minimal sucess. i tried pulling it out, and it wont budge, i tried twisting it out, and it wont budge. i figure i should ask before i break the bulb with it still in the housing. can someone give me some direction on how to get it out.

 

I recommend wearing gloves for this procedure to prevent cuts incase the bulb breaks.

To remove the bulb, push the bulb in, then turn counterclockwise.

To install the new bulb, first observe — the bulb base has pins.

One higher on the base then the other.

You must match these with the socket.

I have converted all marker, brake, and turn signals on my cars to LED types so I never have to bother with them.

 

If the bulb doesn't want to come out, you might need to force it and simply break it. Then you'd need to use pliers to grab the metal part and twist it out of the socket. You might even need to destroy the metal cup to get it out of the socket if it is rusted in.

Hope this helps.
