HI all,

I am having a problem with my aftermarket projectors. I have 4 year old, 1st gen projectors, that can be seen in my picture gallery. The amber turn signals usually stay lit up, when the driving lights are on. I have recently discovered that my left amber light does not stay lit, when I drive, anymore. It only flashes when I am making a turn. Does anybody know the answer to this question? I have checked for loose/crossed wires and did not see any. In addition, I have 6000K projector headlights, connected to my projectors. It is annoying! Help...please...

If there a dual filament bulb its possible the one went bad.

 

The bulb might just be bad.... try putting in a new bulb

 

I would try replacing the builbs as it's only like $4 for a set of bulbs, 3157 bulbs.

 

I had this exact same issue, however this was on the factory lenses/harness.

My issue was due to the Blinker Bulb Connector on the harness experiencing a few years of condensation being built up in the lens, and deteriorating the harness connector to the point where only the blinker would come on, exactly as you described. I was able to "rig" it with some aluminum foil, but fixed it when I bought aftermarket lights, as they come with the harness.

Try rolling up very small pieces of aluminum foil, and putting it on the connectors of the harness, while plugging in the bulb (PITA). You could even take out both lights and try the bulb on the other light for verification, before spending any additional money.

 

I have a headlight harness I'll sell you.

 

Alright...I will try the tin foil trick, since I am into homemade fixes. If not, I guess I will buy a harness.
