Parking/fog lights not working

Ok so I replaced the stock side lights with helix smoke panels that clean with LEDs. I took one of the stock bulbs out and then realized I didn't have the correct led housing. So I've got the stock bulbs with smoke helix panels on right now, everything fits and is flush. Since I replaced the markers, the parking lights and fog lights have not been coming on. The fog light indicator lifts up when selected and with the headlights on but no light output. Same story with the parking lights. When selected and in gear w/ ebreak released, no light output.

Any pointers on this? The only thing I can think of is that something isn't connected and isn't completing the circuit, or one of the fuses has blown. Any recommendations before I have to take them all off again?

Check fuses. If it looks good, take it back out and plug the old side markers in. If they work then it's something to do with the new lights. I just got my Helix markers today but it's pouring outside. Maybe I can help you tomorrow after I install mine.

Do what you said and check the fuses first. If they're good, recheck all the connections. If they worked before and not now, then it's obviously related to something you did so that means retracing your steps to identify the issue. You may have to get a multimeter and see if the side markers are getting power when the parking lights are on. But start with the fuses first.
