so about a month ago both of my front parking lights stopped working..i checked all fuses and all seemed good. the parking lights in the rear are working fine. anyone have any suggestions? the bulbs might have went bad but i doubt they both went out at the same time

 

i also should mention, when this happen my car blew a turn signal/flasher fuse..i replaced the fuse and they started working again but parking lights never did.

 

anyone? ideas on what i should check?

 

I would start with the bulbs to test it out? It isn't that expensive.... both of mine went out at the same time and I just replaced them and they started working again haha.

 

yeah only reason i havent checked bulbs is because i dont want to take the bumper off just for that

 

By both your front parking lights you mean the yellow light that is light all the time when your headlights are on? you don't have to remove your bumper for that. I just removed two clips from fender liner and could reach my arm back there. The liner is thin and very flexible. It was a slight pain but not too crazy.

I once had both my reverse lights go out at the same time so it is possible that both your bulbs blew at the same time. They are cheap so go for it.

 

I have exact same problem, was going to check fuses but didn't.

What is happening here?

 

you're going to have to call Sylvia Browne to find out.

why not check fuse and bulb there is a pretty good chance it is one of those?

 

Its prob ur bulbs. They more than likely didn go out at the exact same time. One prob went out and went unnoticed and then the other and u finally noticed. I had a bright light go out on my old eclipse, then the other went out, finally one of the low beams went out and that's when I noticed and replaced all the bulbs. This is prob what happend unless ur like a pilot and does a walk around and inspection each time u drive which I doubt anyone does lol. Just my opinion.

 

I've got the same problem with my 2004 Ralliart. I don't care what any of you say about them going out all at once, I have 4 front parking lights. Iv'e checked all of the bulbs, and all the fuses. I think it's the "Front ECU". I've never seen one before and I don't know if EVOs have one. It's under the fuse box under the hood, it looks like a big green relay. I'm going to talk to a dealer to figure this out. If any of you got any insight about this topic please pass this forward.

 

Alright bring this back from the dead, as I am having the same problem and I have done a fair share of searching all over the web. Any threads I find always end with no answer. So has anyone found out the problem/solution to this? My front parking lights are currently out. All fuses that I know of (behind coin holder and in the engine bay) are good. So wanted to see if anyone fixed this before I buy a $100 relay. I got state inspection coming up really soon and need them fixed.


Thanks ahead of time

 

from the dead... for those having issues blowing bulbs; certain years of evos, primarily the early 8's, have an issue where water gets into the car. it travels down the harness that comes in right in front of the front door, nearish your feet. if you take a look at the little interioir fuse box, it would likely have some corrosion issues if this is your problem.
