clear sides issue

I just replaced the amber side markers with some clear ones and I got a few malfunctions saying to check the left and right side markers. Any ideas? I googled real quick, but I have some things to do and figured I would post this before I leave and see if anyone had some insight before I got back. Thanks all.

Those popped up after I put mine on too but they went away the next time I turned the car on.

about the only thing that could possibly be screwed up would be A) you don't have the bulb fully seated in the socket; or B) you somehow or another damaged the wire at/near the socket. it's a pretty straight forward swap

I didnt have problems when installed mine but 2 days later after rain one of them gave me an error; I noticed the side marker wasn't completely sealed (I sued some silicone) and the bulb got wet and exploded; replaced it and no problems anymore.
