Side Marker/Parking Lights not working

Featured Replies

Hey,
I have a 2016 Polo 1.2 TSI (MK5 6R). 
Last month I did a complete projector retrofit. With D2S mini projectors in low beam and HID's in high. Also a led strip as a parking light.
Now yesterday the controller for the Led strip fried up. I replaced it with a traditional parking light bulb.
Since then both the front and rear parking lights on the driver side are not working (Passenger side lights are working both front and rear.). Everything is working fine. 
I checked all the fuses and bulbs which seems to be all intact. Also I tried replacing the headlight switch but still the lights won't light up.
I don't want to take it to the service center as it is very far and because of the modifications they will simply refuse to rectify anything. 
What can be the reason for all this ? How can it be rectified?
Thanks in advance
Cheers!!!

Welcome to the Forum.

 

First of all, I am NOT familiar with your model, and in any case, this may be too simplistic, but on older models with parking lights, you had to leave the direction indicator (flasher) switch as if you were making a right hand turn in order to get the parking lights to work.

It also worked on the left hand side, but that was intended for countries that drive on the right.

 

Regards
