Hey, I took my clear corners off and put my stock back on for a couple of days. I changed my mind and decided I like the clears better so i put them back on. You just push the lights in and turn them to lock them in, simple right?
But..

Now my driver side corner doesn't work at all and my parking lights don't work. What could be the problem. I can't seem to find anything wrong or fuses blown. The bottom parking lights do blink though when I use my blinkers, but the left corner remains off.

anybody think they can help?

all i can think of if you are sure you didnt blow the fuse, is that you shorted out the wire going to your turn signal, or that you didnt push the bulb in correctly and its not sitting right in the harness.

...or did you simply blow the bulb?

I had the same problem when I installed my clear corners...It took a few days of removing them and making sure the bulbs were firmly seated in the socket before they reliably come on all the time. the bulb itself just pushes into the socket, then the socket is a twist lock into the corner lens housing. Sometimes I could just whack the light (on the outside) and make it pop on, but I found fresh new bulbs firmly seated in the sockets were the best solution. It is possible the tiny little contacts on those bulbs are not connecting well since they have been pulled in and out a few times.
