Re: circle light

Those are the parking lights. Are both of them out? The bulbs might be bad.

Re: circle light

Yea, both the yellow and the circle lights are your parking lights.

Re: circle light

I'm pretty sure you can reach in from behind. When you pull the bulb out you should be able to see if it is blown. If they are both good then check the fuse for the parking light.

Re: circle light

Those are parking lights and should turn on with the yellow lights if not the bulbs are bad. Replace them. If the yellow lights come on then the fuse is ok.

You have to reach them through the wheel inner fender liner. unscrew the top part of the fender liner and you should be able to reach in there.

Yea I was gonna say, I'm pretty sure those are DRLs...they should come on when the car is running and the headlights are off and the parking brake is off (and when in drive if its an automatic transmission).

Re: circle light

no.. Those aren't DRLs.. They're parking lights.

When you turn your parking lights on, the "circle light" and one filament of your turn signal bulb turn on.

Well that's lame...what's the point when the signal lights do the same thing? Just another reason I like 04/05's :P

Decoration? Lol

Dunno if it's every case, but if my memory serves me correctly, DRLs use low voltage going to the high beam
