Default HELP with rear left tail light and front left fog lamp

Hi, everyone! I have a 1994 993 C2, and I just recently encountered a problem with my lights.

After I tried to change the bulb (to Xenon) for the front left fog lamp, it won't turn on at all. And at the same time, it caused my rear left tail light (passenger side) to be dead.

No other lights were affected by this, even though I applied the same procedure to the right side's fog lamp. Does anyone have an idea of what to do?

Thanks in advance, and much appreciated!

This may be too obvious but did you try checking the fuses?

Oh, I did checked it but got confused as I did not manage to find a single fuse that connects/relates to both lights at the same time. I definitely might be wrong though.

And an additional info, my rear left brake light is not on when idling, but when reversing and braking it does turn on. How weird is that....

Try reverting back to stock bulbs and see if the problem is still there.
