    So I have already had more problems with this Tundra than my last. Granted this problem is small but it's the idea.

    My passenger parking light/turn signal stopped working. OK, it happens. Simple fix.
    Changed the bulb.....nope
    Changed the fuse, knowing it wasn't the problem because it was only 1 bulb....nope
    Changed the socket....BINGO! It works!

    1 week later, stopped working again
    Changed the bulb, just in case....nope

    Has to be the socket again.
    I must be shorting out somewhere

    Every website I come across, the parking light is out but the turn signal works. Not my case. It's completely out

    Alot of them
    Those front sockets are prone to moisture and the contacts rusting or shorting out, especially the passenger side. I had it happen to one of my rear sockets as well when I had my 2013.

    Edit....also make sure you have the correct CK bulb.

    I am having a similar issues with my alpharex headlights. Usually when I start my truck I get the DRL activation with the amber flashing then turns to solid white with the headlight column in the OFF position. Neither turn signals work on the front so I'm obviously getting the hyperflash when in use. Now this is were it gets weird.. in the morning on a cold start or late at night when I start my truck I get the DRL activation and turn signals work as they should. During the day however I have no power to either side, unless I turn the headlight column to the ON position, when this happens I get the DRL activation and DRLs stay on but turn signals still won't work.

    I have not taken the headlight assembly out to check the connectors but it may have something to do with that, but why wouldn't my DRLs work independently from the turn signals anyways? It's just so weird how they work perfectly normal on a cold start in the morning or if it's late at night, but during the day while its hot they absolutely will not work. I am stumped.
