Back Lights

Hey everyone. I just installed the clear back lights, and have few questions. First of all, when i just installed it, plugged in the battery, my back turning signals didnt work. So i reconnected the batter, put the key back in my car, and turning lights work. BUT, my back left bottom light is on when i turn on my lights. I tried to figure out what this light is for, but still have no idea. As for Second, when i turn on my turning lights, they are kind of whity-ish, so do i need to buy a yellow bulbs? If so, where can i get them and what part number?

Thanks all for reading.

that's a corner/side marker light. bulb size 194, not everyone uses it.

i think the rear bulb is a 1156 and you could pick it up at any autozone or store like that. most (if not all) states require amber (orange) or red lights only in the back for turn signals and brake lights so you might want to change it.

Yea, i know i dont need em, but what are they used for in the first place? I mean company is not going to desing something that is not going to be used. And it was only the left one that was on, right one stayed dark. I checked the wire, and only way to kill the light if you unplug the wire.

try turning the bulb over on the one that doesn't work. or replace it. they're used so you can better see the car from the side at night i think, or something like that.

yeah, from what I've heard, not seeing red lights from the side of the car at night is illegal, that's what the sidemarkers are for.
