Default Electrical: All right side lights not working

After getting my car home from the paint shop (pics soon!, and yes it looks awesome.) None of my right side lights (side markers, front and rear lights) work. I initially thought it was because I had the flasher switch out of the car while I was dying my dash, but I put the switch back in, and the lights still don't work. The flashers do work, but the driving lights don't.

Any clues on things to check? I am an electrical moron.

Did you check the fuse? IIRC, the parking lights are fused by each side. I found that out after getting some body work done and I had removed the side markers and front turn signals. It turned out that when I taped off the harnesses I crossed some wires somewhere and it blew the fuse.

I will check. I never thought the lights would be fused separately by side.
It has to be something rather simple to make all of the lights fail.
Thanks!

Clark's garage is my friend....the side marker lights are fused left and right. #40 and #41. Now I just have to wait 8 hours until I get home to check.

There should be one on the underside of the fuse box panel. At least there's one on mine...

There is a diagram on the fuse cover, I am just impatient. So I found it on the interweb!
