did you make sure you pluged all the plugs in right? and make sure the bulbs are good? do the tech and things work just no light?.......try the dimmer it may be turned down or just bad,or if it is unpluged it will not let the lights work

the dimmer switch is most likely the problem my friend

the best way to check is with a test light, pop off the trim and use a test light, turn on the parking light and check the connections on both side of the switch
