Question about dealer and replacing burned out lights

**HeHateMe** · 08-11-2008 08:13 PM

My right turn light is out, it won't come on with my headlights on but it flashes when I use the turn signal?

One of my driver side rear brake lights is out too.

I'm going to the dealership tomorrow, my question is:

Do I need the part numbers or will the parts dude know the numbers/come out to my car and help a brother out by actually looking at what needs to be replaced? I've never bought any parts from a dealership, I've always ordered them from an online source or gone through my mechanic. Basically I want to know if I need part numbers before I go in there?

i get em at autozone. bulbs are basically all the same. look at a car from '95 and look at yours, the bulbs are near identical.

take your burned bulbs out and take them into autozone or the dealership.
should be like 2 bucks.

Damn, why the hell didn't I think of that?

That's what I'll do. Thanks for that suggestion.

Too bad auto parts stores don't sell coilpacks. They would clean up on those.

Front turn signals : 3457 (get the long life bulbs)--- your pakring light filament is probably toast

Rear turn: PY21W (7507)

Right on, thanks bro. Yes, I got the parking light out message on my dash display. Which number is that?

I'm assuming rear? There are 2 lights that come on in the rear on each side when the lights are on, right? One of those is burned out. I think the inside one. Honestly, I can barely tell it's even there because the lights are almost equally bright even with that light burned out. It's hardly noticeable.

using the link, I provided, the rear light is a 7528 (aka P21/5W).

One of my turning signal bulbs went out too, while it was working with my headlights on. i just replaced the bulb.
Oh, and when i bought the car, a couple of weeks later my headlight bulb (halogen) went out, i went to the dealer- and guess how much i paid... yeap... right.... $110. The bulb itself was like $35 + labor.
Then my rear bulb went out, i just asked them about how much it was gonna cost to replace- the answer was like $50. $3 bulb + labor. I didnt do it :)))
P.S. Dealer knows all the part #
