RE: Fw: Lights



Yes the white lens should be back up lights. Could be a bad ground or a 
defective or disconnected backup switch.

Does the turn signal self cancel when you turn the steering wheel and 
then return to center position?

Check for bad grounds at the bulb holders. I think you can securely 
wedge a piece of wire with the insulation at the end stripped off 
between the side of the bulb and the holder; then ground the other side 
of the wire to a known good ground to see if the bulb then lights 
properly.

Thanks,
Gary H.
