When are the front sidemarkers (the #24 bulbs) supposed to be illuminated? With the headlights? With the foglights?
There were no bulbs in there when I bought the car and I finally got around to grabbing a set today and putting them in, but they don't come on at all.

They should come on when you put the parking light on. So if headlights are on the side markers should be on. You need the parking lights on to able to turn the fogs on.

K thanks, I'll have to start digging to figure out why they're not coming on. Low priority right now
It occurs to me that a factory service manual would be a great asset in finding the reason the lights aren't lighting. Does anyone happen to have one that they wouldn't mind scanning?
Tracing the wires is, of course, what I planned on doing, but it would be much more convenient if a scan of the manual and wiring diagrams was available.

may need to grab a test light and see if you are getting power at the socket. If there was no bulbs in them they could be corrotion in the end of the socket and not letting the bulb make good contact. Try taking a small file or something to clean out the end of the socket and get some die-electric grease onto the conections before putting the bulbs in.

yeah any old #24 bulb socket. takes a few minutes to replace depending on how much room you have to work under your rig.
