Where is the Parking Light Fuse?

Yeah, so I'm busy working on my parking light/signal light mod on my 93 4Runner, and now neither of the corner lights work at all. Anyone know where the fuse is or if it shares it with something else? I checked the one in the driver's kick panel, under the hood, and behind the glove box with no luck.

EDIT: Yeah it turns out I had the ground/hot wires reversed, which wouldn't light up the lamp, but caused the parking light on the other side to blow out instead of the fuse. So I essentially had two dead parking lights. Whenever it comes to screwing up, I go big or go home.

By the driver's left foot. I've found sometimes just because it looks good doesn't always mean it is good.

Thanks, I looked, and didn't see it labeled on the diagram, does it share a fuse with something? And by the way, you're absolutely right, definitely having second thoughts about this one. I appreciate your help,

Aaron

Manual shows it in the driver kick panel, top right hand fuse, the same fuse powers tail lights, corner lights, license plate lights and instrument panel lights.

use a multimeter to check that your getting contact between the fuse block and the fuse itself. Fuse taps will often spread the contacts open and prohibbit current from passing throught the fuse. use the meter between the two tabs that stick out the back of the fuse. (leave the fuse pluged in) Set the meter to VDC. Your ideally looking for 0. If you get voltage the fuse is blown or contact is not being made.

Well, since the tail lights, gauges, and plate lights work, I think I have a problem elsewhere, most likely in the 1157 sockets I bought and spliced on. Weird how both parking lights when out though, when only the left side is completed.
