Parking lights

[Trond]

I hope someone on this forum might be able to help me since Mazda couldn\'t.

 I\'ve got an US RX-7 cabriolet 1988. The parking light glass is yellow. Flashes yellow and lights yellow. I took the glass of and looked at the light itself. There\'s one bulb (isn\'t that what you call it??) and two treads inside the bulb. The tread that faces towards the other side is on when the park light is turned on. The other tread is activated when the side indicator is turned on and it\'s flashing.

I want to know if the bulb is the same on an RX-7 from Europe.

(I can insert pictures if needed)

I think you are talking about the US "marker" lights ??  amber coloured on each corner of the car ?


If so the UK cars are different as they are only used for signaling and only flash, unlike the US ones which are illuminated all the time and flash more brightly when signalling ?

It\'s a bad picture. Sorry.

ABOUT THE BULB
Inside the bulb there\'s two treads. The left tread inside the bulb is the parking light. The right tread inside the bulb is the side indicators.

Is it the same as on the UK models?

I\'m hoping it\'s the same. If it is, then I just need to replace the yellow plastic glass.

What does the plastic glass on an UK model look like?

(The yellow light is because of the plastic glass)
