Your fuse is burnt out, just check your fuses under the dash on the driver side, it's the parking lamp fuse, replace it with a 10 AMP fuse instead of 7.5 You ned a 10 AMP to handle the extra power from the bulb. Good Luck!

Are the lights your talking about the clear corner lights in the bumper or the corner light on the outside of the head light. That one takes a 1157. The clear corner lights take a 1156 & 194 bulb and as Ecid said check the fuse.

Like he said you should check and replace your fuse if its burnt... (most likely it is), but i heard it is not recommended that you change the AMP of the fuse to any other AMP range then what it was originally. So if its the 7.5 AMP that blew replace it with a 7.5 AMP. You should have some spare fuses in the fuse box. Most likely the bulbs you are using are too high in watts so get lower watt bulbs and try again.

NOw he's doing the corner light mod meaning he wants more power going to the bulbs, so he needs a greater amp fuse. I did this about 6months ago when I got my car but I didn't shave the nub off. I used a piece of foil to join the two so now my corner lamps are as bright as my headlights I put a 10AMP fuse in and haven't had a problem yet. Except one of my bulbs busted when a bird dove into my car when I was going 70 miles an hour.
