HELP Parking Lights don't work

[Sentinel]

I installed an LED tail light on a 2000 Boxster. It's actually only LED on the brake light part and the stock bulbs for the rest.

The turn signal, reverse, and brake light all worked. Even the fog light on the driver side work - but not the parking light. Worse, even the front marker lights are out too. Did the usual check with the multimeter and the fuses. I even swapped the tail light assembly from driver to passenger side with the same result. Power flows to all the other bulbs but not the front marker and parking lights (bulb #2825) or the rear side marker (bulb #5007).

I also searched the forums here for any clues. Have I accidentally blown a relay? Or did I miss a fuse? Side markers fuses are supposed to be in A3 for the right and A4 for the left. I'm stumped.

Sorry I'm new here but I actually was about to post the same problem.
Out of the blue I haven't added any lights or anything like that.
all my lights work -except when I start the car the drivers side marker and rear
lights don't come on.
I've checked all the fuses and also did the swap from left to right and the bulbs are fine.
When I turn my lights on all for night driving or even in the first position they all work.

Thanks

Check your polarity - LEDs are pole specific.

My OEM left rear running light wouldn't work. I replaced all the bulbs and it still didn't help. I went to a European garage and they took a look and said the board was melted where the bulbs plug in. Rather than replacing the OEM board, I just got some aftermarket smoked rear lights to replace the entire units on both sides. All lights work great EXCEPT the same darn left rear parking light.

Any help out there?

check for voltage at the light ...if none...check fuse

Old thread, but I have this same issue. Drivers side marker, and driver rear light sometimes don't come on. Any ideas? Is it just fuse?
