Default Parking light issue---- AP1

Hey guys/gals,

I figure this would be the best place to ask for help.

I was installing SMD LEDs on the rear parking/city lights. The ones that are on the far corners of the Ap1 tail lights. So during the install on the drivers side, I left the parking/lights on (first click on the stalk) I plugged in the LED, lite up fine. Then for some reason, I went to unplug the LED and as soon as I plugged it back in, everything went out. So I switched back to the OEM light bulbs. The easy part was that I the found the 10 amp fuse that was blown under the dash. But the driver side remains unlit. It doesn't light, I checked the bulb and the bulb is working fine (the thin peice of metal inside the bulb is still in tact).

The clip that plugs into the bulb holder is nice and secure, there's only one orientation to plug that in.

So what can be wrong? Is it possible for the wires to be burnt?

Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

Which bulb did you put back in? LED's will only work one way; ie. the connection has a positive and ground so if you've got the flow reversed it wont turn on.
