yea, go get some 1157 bulbs... but just to make sure, take off the lights that dont work and then check all the bulbs that need to be replaced. i'll say replace all of them. good luck

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
probably means the parking lights. in which case he failed to read the FAQ for FC stick thread that covers when the parking/tail lights are not working.

well,if a bulb Did blow,the filament could have Touched the other one.Start pulling bulbs.and also Check to see that the correct bulbs are where they should be.Another thing to check would be the Condition of the sockets themselves as corrosion does occur.Clean with a NON metal type little scrub brush.
