Corner markers- only one works?
I was putting in my smoked corners and started with the driver side. 5 minutes and I was done. Tested it, good to go.
I walk to my passenger side, and it seems that my bulb was out. No sweat, have a new one. Switch out the marker, put the new bulb in, no worky.
Any ideas? Is there any wiring I should check or look into?

So just take the other bulb out and I'll have a matching pair 
I'm working with what I have. The smoked corners are a help, the orange was just too harsh for a black car

turn the car on and off a few times. When a bulb gets blown, your car will shut off power to there and throw an error. After a restart or two, it'll check again and if the feedback is there, power goes back on and error is gone. It's the same for most your exterior bulbs.

Thanks Mike!
Just got your 5W5 LEDs in the mail today, that's my project for tomorrow morning, can't wait to see how they look with my HIDs! It should complete the front end well

Just a bit of advice: I had to have the socket replaced under warranty. I continually got a "Check Driver's Front Parking Light" warning on the screen. When I brought my car in for service- I asked about it and they said the sockets have been going bad.
