Couldn't figure out where to post.. meh.. here will do for now, until someone moves it.

Ok, a few weeks ago, someone mentiond too me that my reverse lights were blown.. I didn't bother changing them, since i ordered the clears.. so I figured, I will wait until then..

They came, they got installed, and I just used the lamps that were in the assembly..

I still don't have reverse lights!.. I checked the bulbs in the old set.. they are all intact.. I checked the new ones.. same thing.. I checked #9 Fuse.. and it is all intact..

Is there another fuse somewhere? I looked on Hyundai Webtech, and couldn't find a thing about this..

Any help here?

You sure you used the EXACT correct bulb? There are many that are single fillament and dual fillament, make sure you got the right one.

Well, the ones that came with the lamps, are single fillament. But the stock ones that I never did replace before.. that always were going on, in reverse were also Single. Someone, mentioned too me that there is a switch that gets ingaged once the car is put into reverse.

Clears as in Clear corners????
I'm confused, what would that have to do with the reverse lights?

Where do I begin,...
K
Front turn signals are dual filament bulbs = 1157's (2357's)
Rear turn signals are single filament bulbs = 1156's (2356's)
Reverse lights are single as well.
If you have changed the reversed bulbs with CORRECT SINGLE FILAMENT bulbs and they don't light up when you put your car in reverse, yes, you need probably need a new reverse switch, it goes in the shifter assembly, mechanism

I may have a clue what you are talking about man, you probably (I'm assuming you got euro tails or something?) stuck the wrong plugs in the wrong recepticals.

I almost did that.

Make sure you have a good ground. You can check that with a multimeter.

These bulbs came with the Lamps, along with the wiring.


....... BUT!!! Keep in mind, like I said before.. they(both left/right) stopped working BEFORE i got the euros. I did not, change thee bulbs.. they came with the car.. and they did work like 2 months ago.. and they are not burned out.
