I don't think I did anything wrong, cut the clip going to the old side markers, and added connectors to the wires and plugged them both in but nothing.

Suggestions?

I can't finish the install until I get the lights working.
Both sides are not working. Therefore, I don't think switch bulb will do
any good. One thing I am not sure is: does LED light require exact match of
+/- (fire/ground) connection or is it swappable?

It sounds like they are wired up wrong or you blew a fuse, do any of the parking lights work

The wires are reversed...I did the install on our 2 door a few weeks ago and had the same problem. Red goes to black, not red to red and black to black. Its pretty stupid, but give that a try.

Yes what mbrp tech1 said. LED,s only work one way if the polarity is wrong they will not light...

Glad you got them working...Kind of a pain considering you have to rip the fender off that you just installed...been there done that.
