Roadworthy - Fail - for park lights

Hi All,

I just got failed on a road worthy because my park lights dont work, is the park lights those dim lights that are supposed to come from your head lamps, or are they talking about the fog lights, because the fog lights work fine and the headlamps work fine.

any help would be greatly apprieciated.

I'm open to correction on this, but the parking light on the "pre-facelift" model is a small light in the fog light cluster. Its much dimmer than the fog-light itself, so if you have the fog lights on you won't see it. Take out the cluster and you should see the wires for this bulb between fog light and the indicator (repeater?) bulbs. Its a "W5W" bulb if recall correctly.

cool, well ill take the fog lights out this arve and have a look because i never even knew that i had park lights, and it could be just a case of 2 blown bulbs.

so, first turn of the light switch should turn them on, and then second turns the headlights on, right.

Right! At least that's the way they work in the northern hemisphere.

I had the same problem with mine, didn't even know I had them until someone suggested I change them to LED W5W bulbs to match my HID's.

No there are two different fog light assemblies for the pre-facelift. The 94 only have a park light and no fog light, then at some stage they changed it so that the fog light assembly had one bulb for the park light and then another bulb for the fog.

I had a look last night, and i pulled it apart and seen a little W5W bulb that i never even knew was there, and was all black and blown, and same with the other side, so im going to get some new bulbs and then it should be working fine.

Thanks Guys

No problem. If you're getting a pair, have a look at the LED one (you should be able to pick them up off ebay). They look sweet IMO.
