Re: Parking lamp failures, is LED the fix?
Those Dorman sockets in the pics are on the shelf at oreillies. Part numbers in the pics. With wire and new bulbs the whole fix was under 30 bucks.

Re: Parking lamp failures, is LED the fix?

Re: Parking lamp failures, is LED the fix?
Well I worked on the parking lamps during the daylight this time and found that on the questionable socket it wasn't both filaments that were being lit but just the turn filament. It turns out that the socket was wired incorrectly internally. I swapped the connectors and relabled them and its all good now.
