Boomerang light is out

One of my boomerang lights went out, and the light on the orange reflector next to it is also out. That makes me think this is a connection issue, but the wires behind the lights look fine. Any ideas?

Yep, it's usually a bad bulb, blown fuse or a bad ground. ........ pick two..... it will be the third one ......

Hmm, this is concerning. I double-checked through the fuses and they're all fine. I can't imagine I checked the wrong ones, I looked at everything that was related to the headlights

I believe the boomerangs/sidemarkers are listed as parking lights.

Just looked through the manual again. There are only fuses for fog lights, high beams, and low beams, nothing labeled parking lights.

Really struggling to find a good time to take it to the dealer, their Monday-Friday work schedule is also my work schedule. I decided to trace those wires in the meantime and noticed that there is a rusted grounding point in the engine bay that looks like it belongs to the right side parking lights. I'll scrub out that rust tomorrow and see if that fixes it.
