Cornering lights not working

So today i was messing around with my cornering light. I was gonna replace it with LED's 3156 bulbs but autolumination.com sent the wrong ones. they sent the 3157. Anyway while the cornering lights was on (lit up) i unplugged it from the socket, i know i know dumb thing to do . I think i might have blown a fuse because after plugging it back in, neither the left nor right cornering lights would light up when i put on my turn signal. Everything else is fine, the front and rear indicators come on, just the cornering bulbs are not lighting up

My question is, which fuse controls the cornering bulbs? I looked at the chart when i pop off the fuse box by the driver side door but it doesn't say anything about headlights, brake lights, or any other lights that would indicate which would controls the cornering lights. Do you guys know if it's the fuse box in the engine compartment has a fuse that controls this? I tried looking at that fuse box but the chart is completely white out. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I had this same discusion w/ autolumination last year, and they swear, the 3157 (dual circuit) bulbs work fine in a 3156 (single circuit) housing.
My advise is check your stock non led bulbs and compare the connection wires to the socket. then cover the extra wires on the led bulbs that arent used w/ electic tape. Test them out, see if they blow a fuse. If not, clip off the extra wires on the new led bulb (3157) and hope that it works.

I'd like to change my cornering lights out too, let me know if you don't blow fuse after fuse. A while back, someone used LED's and it kept blowing their fuse. Also, your fuse might not be blown, but the bulb itself might be in backwards. Strange but true, some of those lights, even though they fit in both ways, only 'work' plugged in one way.

I'm having the same issue, but the last blue 15 in my fuse box is for the heated seats. Do you remember what the fuse was called?

Thanks a lot.
