Looks like on the front bulbs, one of the filaments is broken on each bulb. This could explain the lack of running lights. Unless they are supposed to look like that. Gonna get new bulbs first.

A couple month ago a buddy told me my right running light was out, but when I got home it was working again. So who knows.

My left front running light filament looks okay, but a check by switching bulbs showed it was the cause of no light. I ordered extras so I'd have some on hand for next time.

Can't you replace with an 1157 bulb from autozone? Or are they special?

They are the amber coated ones for under smoked covers.
I'm going to look later to see if they have any in stock anywhere local.

I can always run to the dealer tomorrow, but autozone would be easier.

I believe 1157s would work in the front and 1156s in the back.
