Driver's side parking lights not working

Hi Guys, today I noticed that only the parking lights on the driver's side are not working, both front and rear. The turn signals, headlights, and brake lights all work. Any thoughts? Has anyone else had this problem?

Just adding some notes, the whole side went out at the same time. The only thing I did prior to this issue was install LED dome lights, LED trunk light, and replaced the 3rd brake light because it was out.

It sounds like you shorted something out in the LH side lighting circuit, maybe when replacing the rear bulb. The left side lighting is on fuse no. 21 in the relay box in the engine compartment.

Check fuse 21 - it is a brown 7.5 A. If it is blown find the short circuit then replace it.

Morning guys, I was able to find the problem and the cause. Apparently my Evo doesn't like LED bulbs when it comes to the bulbs for the rear license plate. As soon as I plugged in the LED, the left parking light fuse blew. I didn't know the EVO had a fuse for each side. LEDs for dome light and trunk work fine. So for anyone looking to do an LED upgrade, just fyi...
