    Hey all,


    I noticed today that my parking lights were not coming on anymore. When I twist the knob to "position #1" my instrument cluster lights up, tail lights come on but not my parking lights. They do work when used as hazards and turn signals so it should not be the bulbs themselves. One of my headlights was out and I replaced both yesterday and they work fine.

    2007 Tacoma Access 2.7L, 5-speed manual. :confused:

    Thoughts?!?!

    Parking lights are different than the signals.

    The parking lights are the little bulbs closest to the fender. The signals are the square ones closest to the grille.

    They have worked this way since I bought the truck a couple years ago and just stopped in the past couple days.

    And just to be sure it isn't the switch, I made sure my parking brake indicator light comes on when I have the brake engaged.

    DJ. I have an '07 Prerunner and I'm having the same problem with my front parking lights. Move the switch to the first detent and rear lights come on, etc, but no front parking lights. Did you find a fix yet and are the front parking lights on a separate fuse?
