Default Anzo tail lights problem...

I just installed some Anzo tails yesterday and the problem I'm having is that the parking lights don't work. The brakes and signals work fine. All I did to install them was connect the electrodes and stick the ballast(?) on the inside frame of the car.

i played around with it some more and figured out that the ballasts or whatever they are control the speed of the individual blinkers but don't seem to affect anything else. i tried switching around the plugs some more but only managed to change which half of the light blinks for the blinkers...

the fuses look fine but is there anything in particular i should be looking for that would indicate they are messed up?

either a fuse is blown, plugs are not hooked up right, or the lights are defective. Try disconnecting your battery, switch a plug, and reconnecting your battery. If that doesn't work, disconnect battery again, and try switching the other way. Good luck and if you solve it please post what happened.

Check these two threads out, some other people had problems with the Anzo install:

Do you need a socket wrench to disconnect the battery or is there an easier way? Positive or negative side?
