Hey everyone, have a small issue I want to address, hopefully someone can confirm what I think the issue is.

I replaced my sidemarker bulbs with LEDs from Diode Dynamics years ago and they've been fine. I noticed that the driver's side bulb was out so I ordered replacements. The replacement flickered for a little and now nothing with the bulb plugged in either direction.

I went to the store and bought regular bulbs to see if that was the issue and they don't light up either. I have the raptor style grill lights plugged in near that side and those work. Is just the plug dead and needs to be replaced?

Thank you!

I would say it's the socket, but you may be able to clean and tighten the (contacts)
and also inspect the wire connections and this depends on where or how you tapped off of the circuit for the grill lights - T-harness? if so the harness spit for the Side Marker

Thank you both, I'll check with a test light and see where there's no power.
