Help with JDM headlight install, please

I installed the headlights and everything works fine, except the parking and turning lights. The bulbs and the wiring is there, but is there another connector I forgot about, I don't know. I must of missed something during the swap and I'm not sure what it is.

Thanks,
Jason

Thanks guys...Boltz says he has the answer so I'm going to try to figure it out with him. If/when I get it to work, I'll try to post details.

Did others not have this problem? I was aware of the fog light situation (having to swap bulbs/rewire harness), but this is new to me...thanks for any help in advance.

So the verdict is...shop never put in parking/turn signal bulbs.

Thread over.
