Ok so its that time to replace my headlights. I bought the oem smoked and when takeing out the old headlights i noticed there was bulbs in the side reflectors. Why are they there? When my headlights are on i see the light and the drl/blinker light but the other bulb is not on. Can some one help me out.

 

Mine come on. I'm guessing you checked the bulbs?

 

Yea the new headlight came with new bulbs are the connected to a fuse of there own?

 

They should be on.

 

Is there anything i need to check? Like the fuse box or the small ralay box on the driver side of the engine bay? I bought my truck used so i dont have the owners manual so i have no fuse/relay diagram.

 

No...those are called running or parking lights.. they are wired to the OEM harness

 

Are the bulbs LED or conventional?

 

You can run either but, OEM bulbs are regular

 

But don't LEDs have to be installed a certain 'direction'? Something about polarity?

 

Yes.. when you plug them in to the socket.. if it don't light up just flip it around. Type of bulb behind the reflectors won't matter much.
