twistedmooch Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 where did u find bulbs that are yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadster90 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 they are white 890 bulbs found at Pep Boys. Wal Mart (some of the stores) have them as well..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 All the halogen bulbs are white. The turn signal has an amber globe inside the housing. The globe breaks if you use the wrong length bulb. The globe can be fixed using the glass from a regular 1157NA bulb. The cornering light is supposed to be white.

Guest Buick Mike Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Move the battery out of the way and it should be easily accessible.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juddev Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 890 bulbs are on clearance at walmart for 3.00 each (at least in my area). Time to stock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadster90 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 Buick Mike,,,What a nice surprise when I took out the battery....Well, replaced the right bulb and proudly checked the lights and BAM! The left one is shot as well...Can the air cleaner or fuse box be removed and the left bulb replaced as easily as the right one? Is there a nice little hole in the fender well (can't determine unless all that stuff is removed)?Thanks,,,Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Buick Mike Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Yes. When you move the fuse box and washer fluid reservoir out of the way (which is easy to do) it will look just like the other side.Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatReatta Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 easier than getting parts out of the engine bay heres a faster just as easy fixtake one towel, lay it on the ground in front of your tire. lay on the towel reach up switch bulbs. pick up towel and your done. it wasnt anything too difficult just peeking up there and its even easier of someone stands over you and looks down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jss Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Double check the socket maybe it has some dirt and corrosion use some bulb grease on the connection and try again ,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadster90 Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 I was lucky to even be able to turn the socket (really really cramp quarters and it had a very very tight fit) however I should have put some electric grease on it - but didn't and it is back together now. I really think it is something else...it has been out since before I owned the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EDBS0 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 If you still have the old bulb you can check it with a wire and the battery. It will let you know if it really was burnt out. If it is also good then the problem is else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattaboy Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 The new bulb could also be faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 A good habit is to always check the bulb before you close things up. Saves having to do it twice. I learned this the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadster90 Posted November 18, 2004 Author Share Posted November 18, 2004 The old bulb was good. Is there a problematic junction, gang plug or anything else it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
