Mine were on all the time on my 5-speed due to a faulty switch. I changed it and it fixed it.

On my auto, both bulbs are burnt out, well one has a bad connection. I haven't had working lights in a while. Its a courtesy to others in a parking lot but other than that unless you have a state safety inspection you can probably just pull the bulbs out for now and be ok.

no working lights at night in the rear. or actually the brakes worked the drving lights didnt. the cop gave me a fix it ticket, i need to have lights in "working order"

i have them in working order now, was the 10a fuse, but these lights are a PITA to mess with.

I have an alaarm system, but could it be the switch in the tranny?
any picutres? theyre always on and i could go there get them to look, if they ask ill say,
well i jsut replaced the bulbs this morning, they were working, open the trunk bam they are working! but i forget to put them in the socket...hahaha. drive away???
