DIY gone bad...need some help
I installed clear turn signals today and am having some weird issues. The sockets from the euro clears did not fit into my car wiring harness so I simply took out the amber bulbs that came with the euros and put them in the stock sockets. Big mistake, now neither of them will come out. The right turn signal works fine but the left turn signal (both front and rear) are constantly illuminated when the parking or driving lights are turned on. they do not blink at all. What can I do? What is wrong? Thanks.

I did the same thing a few months ago. The euro bulbs I received were single fillament - you need dual fillament bulbs (go to Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc.). Also, the tabs that hold the bulb in place are slightly different on the euro bulbs - they will come out but will take some patience and time to get them out. One of the bulbs took me about 15 minutes of wiggling and jiggling, but it finally came out. I found it easier to remove the whole socket and try to get it out at my workbench, rather than while it is attached to the car. The correct (dual fillament) bulbs will solve your problem.
