The lights on my fender flash but the one on my bumper doesn't.

You missed the point. Say i'm standing at a 4 way stop sign. It is my turn to go. If you are going straight the person on the side will automatically begin to roll front until you have passed because its just natural. Now If the person is assuming I am going straight because they cannot see my signal to turn they will move front and I will end up cutting them off hence the honk. It happens, not all the time but it does.
i think im gonna fix mine to flash .. haha damn iv had that car for 3years and never noticed that s*** haha
Made them flash!
OK, I ordered some blue side markers (my P5 is dark blue) from Ebay and received them this morning. I immediately left work and took my car to my mechanic a block away and had him do the following:
- install the side markers
- make the side markers AND the orange side markers flash
IT'S AWSOME! Definately MUCH safer! Try the following... turn your flashers or hazzard lights on and stand beside your P5 (sans side markers). You MIGHT be able to see a faint flashing coming from the flashers besided the headlights, but they'll be even less noticeable if the headlights are ON. Adding side markers eliminate this problem. So I HIGHLY recommend either adding side markers (look cool!) that flash or having the orage side markers wired to flash, or both. Unfortunately, I must return to my mechanic cause the driver side markers stopped flashing :(

this is what i understand, the '02 P5 they had just the non-blinking marker in the bumper. halfway thru the year they relized the messed up on that and then added the blinking marker on the fender just in front of the door. And that is why i have an '02.5 because it is an '02 but does have the fender blinker.

Alright I've wanted to get these for my 99 Protege, but haven't been able to find a place that sells them. Anyone know where I can get the stock clear, orange bulb fender lights? (The ones that go in the upper part of the fender behind the wheel.)
