Lamp Out Lamp On

Hi all,
My exterior lamp out warning light has come on. Sheldon hit a coyote and was in the shop for almost a month. When he came home, the warning light was on. I have checked every light 3 x, yes, even the 2 license plate lights.
Any thoughts? The shop said no electrical was done, with the exception of removal and re-installation of the front lights.
Thanks

I don't want to sounds like a broken record, but do check EVERY bulb and function on the exterior.
That includes the marker lights, blinkers, brake lights, and running lights.
Have a buddy help you and go through EACH individual bulb.

The other way to check is going through the on-board diagnostics (Check Control Messages [CCM]) :

Thanks for the tip. It is front parking lights, which I assume are the top of the fog lights. The fogs work, so I'll research the parking this weekend.
Thanks again.

So I took out the wheel wheel cover to look at the lights. No bulbs installed after the auto body reassembled......

Thanks for the tip

Stephen (and Sheldon)
