Yeah, I knew that. Just didn't want it to be so in this case. Had a 68 Shelby GT350 that had lights in the front, reflectors in the rear...I think.

Anyway, it looks as though my 03's side lights are all out. There are other components on the same circuit that all work fine. Must be the bulbs...however you get to those. Not sure I wanna know.

Not sure of your physical ability but it should be pretty easy to replace those lights…
take a look underneath, can you see them?

@Bgw70 , actually, I was able to pull out the driver's front bulb with no problem and it appeared to be fine. Now, I am at a loss.
