I installed my helix side markers just now, after installing one i tested it and it worked. Then when putting the second one it didn't light up. Now even my turning signal lights along with my brake lights wont even turn on. Could anyone help please? Thank you.

Check your fuses.

You need to start your troubleshooting somewhere. . easiest place to start is to check the fuses to make sure you didn't pop one during your side marker installation. If they all check out, then the next step would be to swap back to stock side markers to see if the problem goes away. If not, then you'll have to break out the multimeter and troubleshoot where you have a break in the circuit.

Did you try flipping the way you installed the sidemarker LED? They only work when installed one way..

I think you installed it backwards. Same thing happened to me.
