When does the clear/white part of the bumper light come on?

[T3rry]

Just trying to figure this out, because i bought the LED bumper lights, and they are really nice, but the white part of the light never comes on, it seems that the orange part (for signal) is on all the time, and then just flashes brighter when i signal... but i thought the white part should be the one on full time and the orange just comes on for the signals... i am lost here...


but i am just trying to figure out how it works when it's stock, then i can try to figure out my LED thing later.

Should come on when the truck is in drive. When it's still light enough that the auto lights don't kick on

turn the key on not start put the ebreak on and put in drive and get out and look

i can tell that it's not on when i am driving (can see the refelction in the vehicle infront of me) only the orange turn signals are on.. which as i said, flash brighter when i signal.


i'll have to check for a blown fuse or something, the ends for the white lights looked a little cooked, just need the weather to cooperaste for a day or 2..


are your orange lights on all the time too?

no. sounds like it is wired so the running light part of the orange is connected to the drl.

what happens when you turn the fogs (and/or running lights) on? does that then turn the "white" on

but by looking at your signature picture, you're are behaving the same as mine.

I wasn't ghostriding when I was snapping pics


Car has to be in drive.. the "Driving" portion of the LED bumper lights are about twice as bright as the parking/turn signal LED's

Mine light up all white.
