    Okay here is the deal I installed offroad lights and factory fog lights. Install went great everything appeared to be working fine. Then I noticed my parking lights wouldnt turn on when they were flipped on by themselves or with the headlight. The thing that is confusing me is that when I turn on my turn signals and hazard lights they light up normally. Also when I arm my alarm they blink like they are suppose to. Help please!!! I have no clue what I did. Thanks

    Check your work. You probably have it wired in wrong if it worked before your install.

    Blinker fluid may be low. Happened to me once too.

    Nothing is wired into the driving lights. Also already topped off the blinker fluid. Still not working I even used premium.

    If you start a project with everything working, and afterward id doesn't, you caused the problem. Go back over your work and look for loose connections, etc...

    Has this issue been resolved? I just purchased an 06 and the parking lights will not work (signals will). The truck is completely stock :(

    The premium blinker fluid has a recall. You need to get P1243-2345 blinker fluid instead.

    OP. Are you talking about the large orange marker lights to the center of the headlights? The DTRLs?

    just wanted to confirm, parking lights are on the outside, and signals/hazards/keyless arm/disarm are on the inside, could just be as simple as bulbs or fuse?
