Thank you Burg, I am pretty sure this 99 is pure stock. No up grades. I thank you for your help as I thought there were a few bulbs inside. Thanks to you I now know that they are all the same !!! A little less pain to deal with. Thanks !!! Max

First of all, Thank You All for helping me. Burg, You get the donuts !!! The problem was the bulb (Halogen) (original) I changed the bad driver's side and then the passenger side also. And may I add, I found a small bare cable with a loop on the passenger side light area. It was tucked along the left side of the wall between the trunk and where the headlight pod (small watermelon) slides into. I pulled it out to find that it is the EMERGENCY HOOD RELEASE CABLE. Looking around and wondering how someone would find it ? NO WAY unless you pulled the front bumper. So I re-routed the cable towards the hole where the small bumper plug is for the tow ring. I tied a small fishing line (50 lb test) to the cable and left the fishing line tucked into the small hole and replaced the bumper cap. Now !!! I can "POP'' the front trunk in an emergency, and QUICK !!!! Dead battery is no longer a worry. And John99boxter, Do not need the loan this time, thanks a million !!! Max

Congrats Max! I will leave your revolving credit line open. Hopefully you will not need it!
