Did i blow a fuse?
In my excitement to put in new LED sidemarkers, i tried to install them in a drizzle. Got one side in and working. On the second side it worked initially and then wouldn't work. I noticed my rear light on same side quit working too. Did i blow a fuse?

Also, LEDs are sensitive to polarity, meaning they will only function when wired correctly. You did not mention if this is a plug and play situation, or if you are hardwiring them in.

I know, i know. Will check those today. I did know they are polarity sensitive. Just weird when i noticed the rear light go out, too. Hopefully just a fuse. Can i pick those up at autozone or o'reilys?

Also, don't trust a fuse based on a visual inspection. I've had them look okay but test out as bad on a meter. The 964 has a fuse-tester on the fuse block.. be sure to use it.

Are they plug in play or are you supposed to do wiring with them like stated above? That's a good place to start. Can also always reach out to the manufacture you purchased them from.

They are plug n play. It wss the fuse. First time i've changed one on this car. Love the little tweezers and fuse checker! How cute.
Went by oreilly's to get a replacement but a train had broken down on the tracks. I could see the store right on the other side but had to turn around after waiting forever!
