Parking Lights gone after installing LED's

Hey guys, bit of a dilemma here, I did a search but nothing quite fits my problem. I installed LED's in my license plate lights and they were fine. I got to the front of the car to do the cornering lights and they for some reason didnt work. Went to check and saw that the parking lights didn't work anymore either. I had checked them when finished with Led's in the back so they were fine then. Right now only headlights work in the front and signals but no parking light and no cornering lights. and so after I went inside for a break and remote started my car from inside and when I came out they were working, but when I turned them on from my stalk they don't work. What could be the reason for this?

Thanks,
Vik

Strange...

I would start by checking fuses, loose wires, and the sockets you messed with.

Make sure the contacts on the bulbs are straight.

Thanks but figured it out... It still was the fuse. I don't see how the parking lights were on when I used the remote start and how when I used the stalk switch it wouldn't come on, Still turned out to be the Fuse but now I only have the License LEDS in and when I put in the cornering light LED's it seems to blow the fuse, Ive tried bigger fuses also... I currently have the 3 Watt Luxeon LED from superbrightlights that were supposed to go in there. So which bulbs should I use that wouldn't trigger the fuse

Weird, the same thing happened to me today after installing some leds for my licence tag too. Where is the fuse for the parking light located? I checked all the fuses I could and they all looked fine.

When i had cornering lights, I tried numerous times to install LED's and the fuse always blew on me. Did you get ti fixed? It's the lower left fuse I believe...
