Corner lights don't work after projector install

My corner lights don't work after I installed the 06 projectors. Is this supposed to happen or do I have a blown fuse? I know they were working before. Both sides don't work right now. I turned the signal light on while the car is running, but I don't get anything.

By corner lights I mean the light that is between the bumper and the fender on the sides.

Thanks

the weird thing is...the same thing happen to me when i swapped mine. It bugged me for days trying to figure it out.

It turned out that it was both burnt out. Try changing out the bulbs. For some odd reason, when you remove the bumper and while your working around it, I'm guessing it gets the old bulb filament all rattled up. I dont know, I was baffled about it too and don't really know what cause it.....or maybe a surge of voltage when you re-wire everything back up. But yeah, try new bulbs.

BTW...the bumper/corner lights were NEVER turn signals. They're just parking lights

i would check the fuse, also your rear lights (taillights). Do your interior lights work as well?

Check the fuses and swap some bulbs around the car (I know the city lights and the trunk lights are the same bulbs for the side markers).

Did you disconnect the battery when you swapped the projectors?
