The way these parking lights work is as follow. The left and right sides are operated from the Combination Switch to the relays to the fuse and then to the lights. The left and right side have individual relays and fuses.

Working with the left side parking lights, remove the K13 relay. Fashion a small piece of elec. wire stripped at both ends. With the key in the on and the combo. switch turned to parking lights, ,stick one end of the wire into slot #30 at the fuse box and test for battery voltage at the other end of the wire with a test light or DVOM. Then do the same for slot #86.
