So, last night I decided to pull my driving lights, 3rd brake light, and mirror reflectors to vht and clear them. Whole project went relatively smooth outside of my dog messing with them when wet.

On to the thread title, my passenger side marker light isn't illuminating, after looking at all the wiring again, the previous owner had spliced in about 8 times in a 12 inch run. Squeezed all the connections and would get flickering from the marker, so guess doing a require today!

Are those headlights off of a regular f150? Nice touch on the marker lights.
I honestly have no idea, the previous owner (i got through a dealership though) took the time to do a few mods and did spend some money, but the OEM harness is still there. Could potentially be a swap out, but they are staying until i pull the trigger on retrofits.

Well the fun continues, rewired plugs, and got rid of the crazy stuff. Light is fluctuating especially when wiggling the wires going into the large cluster. So game plan is to rewire all the way up to fuse. Until I decide to hate myself with that, I'm going to wire it into a different parking light for the time being. Second picture is just my favorite mod so far.
