Installed led corner lamps and now nothing lights up

I just joined the site and purchased a 2009 mercedes c 300 I just installed clear marker lamps to replace amber ones. Now the problem is neither the bulb that was in there or the new led will light. They were fine before both bulbs work. I didn't have a test light for power to check . I don't understand why the oe bulb wont light either . its something so small and annoying.

do you get error messages?
did you try to turn them for the polarity?

Cornering lights only come on under darker ambient lighting conditions, try covering up the light sensor.

if you have an error its because you replaced them with the key on the contact so the computer noticed the circuit was cut.
leave you car off for a few minutes then restart so the car does its circuit checks again.
