Was wondering how to remove the turn signal bulbs in the OEM LED taillights.. Ordered Some new bulbs and decided to see how hard it was to change out. Removed taillight and located socket the contained the bulb. Looks like it should twist to unlock but only turns a little. looks like it wants to turn counter clockwise.
View 2 RepliesGot the light bulb symbol in the tach this afternoon. After checking it out, the LR inner bulb seems to be out. Am I correct in assuming I have to pull back the carpet, then remove 2 nuts/washers, and then remove the taillight lens/housing to replace the bulb? Any recommendations on bulb or just stay with OEM? My R32 has 88K+ miles and this is the first bulb to go...
View 5 RepliesIm switching out the bulbs on the front turn signal light today, I reach my fat little fingers in there and can barely pull off the wire harness that goes into the back of it. When I did this the wire coverings on all three wires just disintegrated I would guess from the heat inside the headlight. Wel there's a short from where they are touching and my signals don't work at all. my question is I can hardly even reach my fingers down in there too remove that wiring harness ( which is the shortest wire ive ever seen) is it necessary for me to remove the grill the front bumper and each headlight in order to access the wires better?
View 5 RepliesI've having difficulty removing the taillights from the trunk. I'm sure it is simple but there must be a trick to do this properly. I've removed the nuts but I can't bulge the "lockwashers" per the instructions. The threaded stud is a special design and has some type of spring mechanism. I tried removing one of these a few years ago and I broke the stud. How is this done? Below are the Bentley instructions which are not useful.

View 5 RepliesThinking about getting a used Camry. Is there any issues with any of the years in the seventh generation Camry? What are some of your likes and dislikes of your car? For example I have been told that on the sixth generation Camry you have to remove the bumper to change the turn signal bulb. I have never had to deal with this, just what I have been told.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2003 W8 wagon and my front turn signal bulb went out. I need to replace it, but am having some problems. I removed the high beam cover to get to the turn signal socket, but I am having problem removing the socket. I was able to turn the socket slightly and was hoping I could just pull it back, unfortunately it doesn't seem to want to move. Is there a trick to remove the turn signal socket so I can remove the bulb? I don't want to force anything in fear of breaking something. there has to be a way.

View 3 RepliesI would like to start off by saying I am new to this forum. I bought a 2005 Jetta GLI a couple of months ago and from the first day I noticed that occasionally when I would lock it with the alarm, the right turn signal would stay on. It was not much of a problem as I would just press the lock on the remote again a couple of times to turn it off. Lately it has become more frequent and annoying. I have to wait up to an hour so I can finally turn it off through the remote. I was thinking the relay probably.
View 15 RepliesSo I was doing the DRL - Dimming on indication mod with the VAGCOM. I used the following steps:
Go to [09] Central Electronics
Go to Security Access and enter 31347
Go to adaptation channels and set the following (they're quite far down the list):
"Leuchte2SL VLB10-Lichtfunktion G 2" to Blinken links active (besides Phasen)
"Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimmwert GH 2" to 35
"Leuchte2SL VLB10-Dimming Direction GH 2" to minimize
"Leuchte3SL VRB21-Lichtfunktion G 3" to Blinken rechts aktiv (beide Phasen)
"Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimmwert GH 3" to 35
"Leuchte3SL VRB21-Dimming Direction GH 3" to minimize
Now my right front turn signal is inop. Checked voltage and swapped bulbs left to right. the bulb is good. No sure what I did. Could I have disabled the blinker somehow? Where is the channel for the right front blinker?
Just now toward the end of my drive to work the turn signal clicker was possessed and randomly clicks. Still clicks as normal when I turn on the signals.
View 21 RepliesThe other day this started and hasnt quit. I was driving to work and after i used my turn signal and everything worked correctly and as it shoud except for the noise. The turn signal noise keeps ticking, sometimes at a fast pase, after i make a turn and the signal turns off. And will continue to do so even though i havent even used my turn signals.
View 7 RepliesA couple of months ago my turn signal ticker decided to keep ticking after I stopped using the signal. It would happen in either direction, full signal use with automatic return, and if only using the signal stalk to move over a lane (not fully pressing the stalk down). Problem went away but is now back. At first I thought a light bulb was out since the noise was kind of fast. All my bulbs light up and all functions are normal. It is only the noise that is the issue. My signal does not stay on when I get this extra noise. what can I do to fix it?
View 7 RepliesWe have a 2015 Sonata 2.4 Sport that has developed an intermittent turn signal problem. When the left turn signal is turned on, the right signal will blink. When the right signal is turned on, nothing blinks. A new symptom that recently started is sometimes neither turn signal will turn on regardless of the position of the turn signal stalk. I managed to get the car to dealer #1 while the LEFT=RIGHT & RIGHT=NOTHING issue was happening but while troubleshooting it, they ran across an inactivated aftermarket alarm system that dealer #2 that sold me the car had installed. I guess the alarm they install is so cheap, it's not even worth removing if they are unsuccessful in upselling you at the time of purchase.
Since dealer #1 would not troubleshoot any further unless the alarm was removed, I retrieved the car and took it back to the original dealer #2 I bought it from. They removed the alarm and the turn signals started working again, however, this lasted about 2 weeks before the symptoms returned. I booked an appointment at the dealer #1 to bring the car in & half way during the drive there, the turn signals started working again. With nothing to show them, I didn't drop off the car. Now the problem is back. Since it tends to come and go, I have try and time when I can drop the car off so it's happening when they get it.
I only have access to an old VAS scan. I can only edit the long code directly.
I'm looking for the value (hex or binary) I need to put on Central Electronics (09), Byte 15, Bit 3 in order to turn the drl off when turn signal is on.
I have a canadian 2012 GTI with bixenon and rear led.

When I brake, my turn signal bulb lights up. Is that how it's supposed to be? Which bit I need to change in the vag?
View 5 RepliesSo the other day driving to work i was driving my car to work, i put my turn signal on and after i turn it off it still kept doing the clicking noise. At first i thought i was just hearing stuff cause it was early and i was tired, so after work i checked it out again i sure enough it was doing it. It even does it sometimes without even first putting the turn signal on. My buddy and i thought it was a relay or a fuse. Is that right?
View 7 RepliesHad an issue arise today where out of the blue my turn signal decided to turn on and stay on... and i do not mean it was blinking as if i was going to turn i mean solid on, no clue what caused the issue, the stalk is still in the middle position, and when i turn the other side on (passenger/right) it blinks normally, now if I turn the hazards on they both come on and stay on solid, this problem does not even stop when i pull the key out of the ignition, I have to remove the negative battery strap for it to turn off completely.
View 3 RepliesI seem to have a problem with my jetta. It's the 1.8t. When I turn the turn signal on, I can see the dash and headlights dim. Also when I tried putting both windows up at the same time, the car seemed to short out and almost shut off. It reset the time and trip mileage when it did so.
View 1 RepliesExperienced problems with their right taillight, both brake and turn signal light stopped working. This occurs intermittently. I have replaced my rear license plate lights with error free leds .
View 4 RepliesI know that the relay will make the turn signals flash fast when a bulb is out or there is a broken circuit, but I am not sure about how the brake light switch is causing this condition. I need to go and check all connections and bulbs, but I see nothing obvious at this point. When the brake pedal is NOT depressed, I get the normal interval of the turn signal. As soon as I touch the brake pedal, it begins to cycle very fast. Remove foot from pedal, and it goes back to normal.
