Front parking lights not working
I've done a search and can't find anything on my issue, which is the rear parking lights work but the front don't. This happened after I replaced the burned out bulb in the right front. Any thoughts as to what I might have done wrong?

Retch, the bulb enclosure for those lights develop cracks over time from the heat produced by the bulb. The cracks are directly over the bulb. When it rains or when you wash the car water seeps through the cracks and drips on to the bulb and socket. Most times it causes the bulb to crack, but it also seeps into the socket and causes corrosion. It's possible that corrosion in the socket is your issue. It's been awhile since I dealt with that issue, but my fix was to seal up the cracks with fiberglass resin. I don't remember how I accessed the housing. Good luck trouble shooting your issue.
