Day Time Running Light/ Turn Singnal

Hi guys,

can anyone help me out or has anyone encountered the same issue. every noe and then the bulb on the driver side will turn off and come back on. its a pretty new bulb. do you think its just hit and miss on the bulbs? i got it from Pep Boys. the fast blinker noise is annoying.

thanks for the help.

 

Can this be issue be due to turn singal relay over heating? meaning might be time to chage the relay maybe..? can some one help?

thank you

 

More than likely it's the contacts in the socket. Take the bulb back out and clean the contacts. Make sure that the bulb goes back in fully seated. The bulb has a tiny stranded element, it is either blown or it isn't.

 

aahhh!.. never thought of checking out the socket. ill give it a shot and let you know. thanks for the 411.

 

regarding this problem i was having ive notice its due to the bulbs getting hot which causes the bulb to slip out the socket. how can i avoid bulbs from getting to hot..? would i have to get O.E.M bulbs i have bulbs from Pep Boys right now.

 

The OEM bulbs wont be the cure. What happened is that Toyota decided one year to make the lights into DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS without any modifications. So we have lights on all the time that were never intended or designed to BE on all of the time. The bulbs get very hot and they melt things...In my case they melted my headlight lenses. I did the LED conversion for the blinkers and snipped the DTRL wire that is very well explained in another thread. You have options.
