06 Headlight Install HELP!

I just ordered my 06 headlights & i cannot seem to find a cable to connect my clear corner lights. Everything worked fine with my 05 headlights but as soon as i installed the new set only the headlight assembly for 06 works..No extra cabling....What do i have to do now? Drive without side markers?

Do all 06 headlights experience this?

HELP PLEASE

OP, maybe you've mistaken the long vertical strip on the headlight assembly as the side markers.....they no longer light up on the 06 and up.

All the cables should be plug and play. All the cables are there and should be no more and no less between the 03-05 and the 06+.

Ok are you talking about the clearance strip that runs up and down the headlight? If so, NO. Your 06 lights dont have the hole for the hold to go through.

Are you talking about the clear signal? If so, YES. the whole is there, ,but the bulb in.

Are you talking about the side marker that sits next to the wheel on the bumper? If so, YES the wires and the hold where the bulb goes is there.. Its probably tucked in the bumper.. look for the wire and pull it through.

+1 You had to DISCONNECT it when you took the bumper off. Recheck your work, it's probably stuck behind the bumper cover when you put it back on......
