Driver Side Tail Lamp Out?
Replaced my tail lamps with dark lamps about 3 months ago (also 3rd brake light). Last night my driver side tail lamp driving/parking lights stopped working. The reverse light, brake light, and turn signal still function but the bottom tail lamp portion is out (the small led-like slits at the bottom under each section). Grabbed my manual looking to the fuse diagram but no mention of tail lamps in the fuse schematic. Any thoughts?

Won't be a fuse, one fuse likely controls all of the parking/tail lights.
Issue will be wiring or LED on the drivers side of the car.

Update....so tonight I got ready to pull the dark tail lamps and put the factory reds on temporarily when I noticed my rear and front side markers (diode dynamics dark led side markers) are also out on the same side. Is it a fuse now? I just had the dealer replace the right auxiliary radiator and they had to pull the front end to do it. Don't know if it's a result of their work. Really at a loss. Had talked to Matt at Wildhammer and he was working with me to resolve the tail lamp issue but seems more like a wiring/electrical issue on the car given the side markers are out too. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

So it's not the dark tail lamp cause the factory red tail light won't light either. Pulled and checked every fuse under hood and in trunk. Now removing side markers and replacing with factory.

Found the problem....driver side rear side marker. Led connector corroded from water damage with water in the light housing. Not sure how cause the connector was twisted on and appeared sealed. Oh well, at least my tail light works now and I can rock one stock side marker no problem until I get a replacement.

Get some bulb grease form the local auto parts store to put in the connections. Stops water and prevents corrosion.
