    Yesterday I did my retrofit headlights and its working great. However, when I got home last night I noticed my driver side clearance light was off, passenger side still on. I checked the wiring and connectors and everything looks good. This morning I went out to check and the light was working perfectly, wouldn't surprise me though if it goes out again. My question is has any one else experienced this and if so what did you find caused it?

    I don't know why the side marker/clearance lights would be affected considering everything is pretty plug and play. Did you pull out the bulbs when you did the retrofit? I would check and make sure the bulb is seated correctly. If it goes out again pull the bulb out and check to make sure there is power using a test light or multimeter. If you have power it is a bad bulb.

    Double check the bulb connection, and the harness connection to the bulb socket.
    There's two failure points on that.
