ok, before i get flamed, someone help me. im only asking because i dont want to bother getting new bulbs. ok, i recently blacked out my "eyebrows" on my car, like the little grille in the hood, the "brows" on the lights, and the corner housing. well, what i already know is, the orange reflectors on the corners have lights behind them, there are also lights in the actual corner. well, when i purchased my 88 lx, the only light that worked was the driver's side corner light, it came on when the light switch in the car was rotated one click. the other corner light nor either of the reflector lights ever worked. so i took each housing off the car, and removed all bulbs. but what i want to know is, if anyone actually has bulbs in their reflectors, and if they can tell me if they blink when the blinkers are turned on, because i know the actual corner light didnt. trust me, id rather get flamed on here than go spend more dinero on some bulbs to see if i can do something.
thanks

The actual corner light does not blink, it just lights up. The blinker bulbs, behind the amber lense on the corner light is the only part that blinks.

no, read the question COMPLETELY and be sure you UNDERSTAND all parts before replying, it'll make you appear smarter to me.
thanks

:lol

The noob made me laugh early in the morning. Thanks!

I know I had some trouble completely understanding what you wrote. Maybe it's a problem with terminology or just a lack of a visual aid. I'd bet some pics of what you're talking about might help.

READ... you both probably could have answered the question if you;d actually read it. He says the bulbs are out and has no way of telling if they flash or not.. doesn't want to spend money on new bulbs before he finds the answer to this question.



The answer to your question is YES, the reflector bulbs flash when the blinker is on, they flash alternately with the bumper turn signal lights. the corner lights do not flash.
