Turn Signal Light Assemblies
Turn signal lights communicate the driver's intended turn or lane change. The lamp assembly, lens and light source must suit the vehicle's position and design; a damaged housing may require a different repair from a failed bulb.
The available TYC assemblies include left and right front units for selected applications. Some combine turn-signal and parking-light functions in one housing, while others serve the specified signal position.
Choosing A Replacement Turn Signal Lamp
Choose the correct side and location, and compare the housing and connection with the vehicle. Body equipment can also affect the shape of the matching lamp on some applications.
A light that flashes unusually fast or fails to illuminate may have a bulb, connection or circuit problem. Diagnose the affected lamp before replacing the complete assembly.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does a turn signal assembly include a bulb?
It varies by product. One TYC front-right assembly lists no bulb, while a listed front-left unit includes a halogen bulb. Check the contents of the exact assembly before ordering.
Can one lamp assembly contain a parking light and a turn signal?
Some housings combine both functions, but that does not establish whether a replacement includes the necessary bulbs. Match the assembly's stated functions and package contents to the vehicle.
How do I identify the left or right turn signal light?
Vehicle sides are named from the seated driver's perspective: left is the driver side and right is the passenger side on a U.S. left-hand-drive vehicle. Choose the position specified for the housing.
What can cause a turn signal to flash faster than normal?
A failed bulb or a problem in the lamp circuit can change the flashing rate on some vehicles. Check the affected lights and their connections; the symptom alone does not identify the failed component.
Can vehicle body trim change the correct signal lamp?
Some applications distinguish vehicles with or without particular exterior equipment. A TYC listing specifies use without body cladding, so the vehicle's trim can matter as well as its model and year.
