Anyone ever have this issue where the tail lights, license plate light and map light don't turn on?
I checked the fuses and used a fuse tester and everything comes out fine? Am I missing something? Brake lights work and dry too

I also installed the suma side markers and everything came out fine doubled checked wiring and everything looks fine. Do you all think the side marker installation short fused something?

You just did work to your lighting and now you have a problem in the lighting. Would make sense you did something there.

If you have a spare fuse of the same value; swapping it out for the suspect one is a good next step.

Always disconnect the negative terminal on your battery before doing any work on your car.

Did you try putting back the factory markers and see if the problem goes away?
I did but what the problem really was one of the cable (red) that connects to the suma side markers the wire was exposed I didn't catch it until I had to insert the oem side markers the third time. Didn't cross my mind tbh but oh well we all miss a thing or two🤷‍♂️ so I wrapped it with some electrical tape and inserted a new fuse for the most likely culprits and boom it worked.
