Icon4 Driver side tail light not working

Hey, so if anyone could help me diagnose the issue it would be very helpful.

I have a 99 Integra GS, recently I replaced 1 of the tail lights (driver side) because I got into a minor fender bender. The old tail light worked properly and never had an issue. But since changing it to the new tail light ( 2 days ago) I realized that the light does not work? I checked the fuse but that cannot be the issue since the passenger side one is working I tried switching the bulbs but that didn't do anything either. I don't know what else the issue could be. if anyone knows please respond thank you.

I attached a video of the problem as well.

Wiring probably was damaged.

Measure if there is voltage on the Red/Blk wire (red wire with black stripe running through it). If there is ~ 12volts there, then it probably is a ground wire issue. If there is no power on the Red/Blk wire, then there is an open (break) in that wire.

Yes, it was the wiring. took it to my mechanic & he checked the voltage. ended up DC the wire to the other tail light.

Thank you for the response i appreciate it.
