Corner Lights?

[99 sr5 highlander]

What are the corner lights supposed to do? Whatever they are for, mine don't work. I am wanting to get everything working before I start modifying it and this is one thing that isn't. Also, my drivers side foglight doesn't work and I'm not really sure how to fix it. :shrug: Help!

Never mind about the corner lights. I pulled them out (Which just about killed my fingers) and both bulbs were shot. I am still wondering if I have to buy a new foglight because it appears that the fuse is fine.

im kinda curious what their purpose is also. sometimes mine work, sometimes they dont. sometimes only the left works, sometimes only the right works. its kinda annoying, but whatever. also, how did you get the corner out? i tried pulling it out last week but had a hard time so gave up before i broke something.

It's very difficult and scary the first time you do it.
Here's a link to a helpful thread.

I used a very small flat head screw driver and a paper towel (as to not damage anything) to kind of pry the light out towards the front from the lower side of the light.

"Conspicuity devices are the lamps and reflectors that make a vehicle conspicuous and visible with respect to its presence, position, direction of travel, change in direction or deceleration. Such lamps may burn steadily, blink, or flash, depending on their intended and regulated function."

That suit ya?

so yes, there is a purpose for them. You can really take advantage of these by placing a LED light in them.

I have a spare working oem fog light if you determine you need one. Save the bad one though because I cut the connector the one I have and you'd need to solder/crimp one back on.

Thanks, I think I will need a new one, because I checked the fuse and the bulb and they are both fine. Im hoping its not somewhere in between the light and the fuse.
