    I just bought a 2011 Tacoma SR5 and I'm going crazy trying to figure out why I have no front amber lights. All other lights are working. I don't even see where the bulb would go. I'm wondering if they are after market lights?

    Here are some pics. Hopefully they help.

    The below pic is with the lights at the first click

    This is with the lights all the way on

    This bulb is for the clear light to the left of the amber light. Not seeing a place where the amber bulb would be... I don't know what the white cap above it is either? Did they just not wire for the amber light??

    Amber lens is behind here

    So where's the amber bulb? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    You've got some POS china aftermarket garbage lights. I'd definitely advise to remove and replace with OEM for a significant performance improvement as well as get your front amber lights back.

    Yeah, I definitely agree. After looking at the light more, the amber lens appears to just be a reflector and not an actual light o_O
