1989 Toyota MR2 - Side Marker Light Bulb

Where is a Side Marker Light Bulb Located?

Side marker lights are auxiliary bulbs designed to increase your vehicle's visibility on the road from all angles. These lights give other drivers a clearer view of where your vehicle is on the road if they are unable to see your headlights or tail lights. Side marker lights should be illuminated when your headlights are turned on, some also flash to match the pattern of your turn signal lights when you activate the turn signal switch. Side marker light bulbs are typically located on the vehicle's fender, bumper, or rear quarter, depending on the type and size of the vehicle. Amber lenses or bulbs are typically used in the front, and rear side marker lights often feature red lenses and clear bulbs. Because the marker lights are designed to increase your vehicle's visibility for other drivers on the road, burnt out side marker light bulbs can impact your safety and the safety of other drivers on the road. Side marker light bulbs typically wear out over time due to use, and bulbs on each end of the vehicle are likely to burn out around the same time. This is why it is often a good idea to replace both or all of your side marker light bulbs if one has burned out or started to dim. If you notice your side marker light bulb is damaged or is not working at all, find the replacement bulb you need at O'Reilly Auto Parts. We also carry a variety of other auxiliary light bulbs and replacement electrical and lighting system parts for your vehicle to help keep you driving safely.
