I assumed the side marker on the fender was mainly a sort of DRL. I would assume the turn signal is in the half oval below the fog light that is illuminated in this pic.
I'm pretty sure by law you have to be able to see the turn signal from 90 degrees to the side as well. I would think the fender one would be a side repeater, which is the only part I don't like on the Solstice.

The light setup is similar to my mini. I don't believe the light on the wheel well is a turn signal but rather just a regular night time driving light. The side turn signal will probably be behind the front wheel. The front turn signal on my mini is split. Half of the light is a turn signal and the other half is another night time light.
It is what it is. I think Pontiac did a great job of blending in a light that is obviously required by law. It wouldn't suprise me if they tried to blend a side turn signal into the badge at rear of the front fender to give it a little upscale European flavor. As long as it has turn signals I'm happy!

Maybe I'm just creating memories, but I thought I had read somewhere where they toyed around with making those light up??? Maybe that was something on the Curve. I don't know.
Yes, just like the Envoy. As I said earlier, I have video showing the front turn signals are in the round sport lamp assemblies. They are at the top of those round assemblies.
"...The taillamps, for instance, were designed with special reflectors to eliminate the need for a separate side marker light..."

so there's no rear side-marker lamp.
The canvas on our ’07 N/A was fraying in areas and had some wear from rubbing on the “bumpers” on the trunk lid. I (my wife) was in the market for a replacement top when we (I) realized that the entire assemblies were limited in availability to only a few left and those were in tan color only...
One of our members has put the metal frame of the top through the canvas because he was not aware that the top HAS to be lubricated periodically. Take a few minutes today and check your's.
I lube mine twice a year but found the plastic clip on the passenger side about to fall off today when I...
I have A/C, but no heat. I get blower speed control and can move between air coming out of dash vents, floor vents or different combinations. Dealer thought it might be the acuator to blend heat and A/C, replaced actuator but still no heat. Checked HVAC head unit and found that head unit not...
2008 Soltice When the AC is all the way clockwise it blows good cold air but move the dial one click clockwise it turns too full hot. Any ideas what can cause this and how to repair.
Just bought an 08’ I’ve always loved this car..!
Cars doors do not lock/unlock from switches or FOB. Must use key in door. Passenger lock does attempt to cycle but doesn’t fully move - just a little, showing me there’s power to the actuator. Not sure if this is related but when door is open...
