98 Civic EX - Parking light and City Light Issue
Whats up guys?
The vehicle is a 98 civic ex
So here's what happened, and what's going on..
I installed city lights and had everything wired so that the city lights go on with the constant power of the parking lights. City light harness (brown and black) wired to the parking light Red and Black (obviously black to black, and brown to black), I left the green wire go. Everything was working great.
One day I had an issue with my passenger head light (it was out, but now blown). I ended up rewiring it and got it to be good, but then my passenger side parking light and city light wouldnt go on, just the turn signal would function.
Yesterday, I ripped the bumper and headlights off to see what's going on, now both driver side and passenger side parking light and city lights don't work. Headlights and turn signals (and hazards) do.
Things I have tried..
- Grounded the city light with the ground of the turn signal and wired the power of the city light to the headlight power, the city lights went on when I put the headlights on.
- Took the turn signal bulb out and put the city light socket leads on the contacts of the turn signal bulb socket and they blink.
- I even went back to not having the city lights installed, and just rewired the turn signal sockets back to how they would be from factory, still no parking lights.
I did check fuses, and they aren't blown. Any ideas guys?

Joey, I did compare it to the other side, it is identical. I have check the voltage and everything is there. I am almost thinking it may be the headlight switch, however, the only odd this is that one side worked before and the other didnt.
