What is the purpose of the
bluish, arrowhead-shaped lens that occupies the lower left corner of the front drivers-side light assembly on a
2013 S?
Does it have a bulb in it, or is it just a channel that deflects some headlight sideways? I've run my eyes and hands over the whole housing and cant find a wire, fixture, or opening.
When I look at a parts diagram,
most parts-finders only let you choose between "All Trim Levels, SV, and SL" and so below is the best diagram have. it seems to suggest that it is a marker lamp (#6 bulb in a #8 socket), but they don't do the "dotted line" that shows you where these parts actually go on the light housing:
So what I can't figure out is
1) Do I have the right or wrong parts diagram?
2) Or is this just a phantom no-bulb tube that re-directs low beam light?
3) Do I not know how to turn them on? (I can't see any effect when my headlight switch is in the middle position)
4) Are both mine burnt out?
It having been a leased vehicle for 3 years before I bought it, I suspect the answer is #4, but I'd like to know where to yank before digging them out, and what bulb number I'm replacing (so I can switch to LEDs if it is burned out)
Many diagrams/videos that talk about a parking light say/show that there is an access hatch that must be opened before removing the front parking light. These are generally 2011/2012 illustrations. My Leaf has no such hatch: just a plain, flat slab of plastic on the "inner" face of the light housing. Also of no use are the SV/SL illustrations from 2013 and later.
