Side Parking Lights

So I believe its called the parking light but I am referring to the orange colored one that is on the side of the car in the front. I noticed that they are no longer working and I don't know if its a wiring issue, as my engine wire harness had to be replaced due to damn rodents, but if they are just burnt out would it show on the screen in the dash? I know a lot of people don't like those lights but i honestly love them and am kinda sad that they aren't working hahah. thanks in advance!!

So to be clear they don't turn on but you don't get a warning in the IC for either one?

How long have you had the car?
Who did the wiring repair and how long ago?
Have you removed any of the bulbs or the fender liner to take a look around yet (i assume not)?

The computer does check those bulbs so if they are not coming on and you are not getting a warning either someone has bypassed them with a resistor or something like that or figured out a way to disable them in the computer. You could also have a front SAM issue causing them to not light up as well as not get an error but I kind of doubt that as both are out.

I purchased the car about a year ago. I noticed that they stopped working when I upgraded the ligts with an HID conversion kit. But no I have not checked those lights to see if they were out but figured there would be no point checking if the system was suppose to tell me if they were out and it hasn't
