its the one thats blown in the fuse box. i think its the signal one, i dunno, check.

Your headlights will work though. why did u nub them? they're dual filament for a reaon, brake lights, and normal lights.

make sure it fits back in the slot correctly...
if it's like what happenned with me and the corner lights, then i'm sure because you removed that piece, the light is loose in the piece.
bend the container a bit with some vice grips or something. Just a bit, so the light has no free play. Then try again.

Hopefully it's something simple like that.

i suggest keeping the lights the way they are... and instead modding the corner lights instead ;-)

anywho, good luck

I believe it's the "Tailight" fuse. It's on the left hand bank about half way down. 7.5 amp fuse. I'm not looking in my car right now so I'm not exactly sure that is what it is called.

You'll be sure when you pull it out and see if it's popped.
