Parking lights question

i turn mine two clics and nothing happens. the parking lites come on on the third click and the headlites on the fourth. do you have auto lites? could be tied to the sensor.

 

On my 2006 with HIDs: one click, parking lights; two clicks, headlights.

U.S. models of the Gen II were not available with automatic headlights.

Whatchu talkin bout Willis?? There are only 2 clicks on the Gen II Prius. 1. Parking Lights 2. Headlights

But as the OP stated the parking lights are useless. I never use them. But no they’re not burnt out.

 

i must have been thinking of the windshield wipers.

 

First click turns on the parking lights all the way around. Second click turns on the headlamps too.

I believe so, but I haven't had to do it with my 2006 Prius. Perhaps one of the other owners will chime in with their experience.

Did you ever get a satisfactory answer to this? I just got a ticket from a police officer who told me my parking lights were out. Do I even HAVE parking lights on a 2005 Prius?

No.

Probably.

I found it easy to remove the front passenger side bulb - it's just a 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pull. I had an awful time getting that one back in, not enough space to put my hand in and turn. Finally wound up unscrewing the top of the headlight and lifting the headlight assembly. It doesn't go far, but it was far enough that I could twist the bulb back in. The drivers side was easier.

Voltage in a running vehicle wanders all over the place, even in a slick one like ours. That 13.5 is meant for automotive use and should work fine.

Yes, one at each corner, unless some are burned out.

 

Thanks, I went to the parts store, got the bulbs and replaced them. I recently had the car in to the dealer because one of the headlights was out. The mechanic did not mention that both parking lights were also out. Live and learn.
