Default City lights problem

So I noticed one of my city lights was out. Went to go wiggle it to take it out and the other side went out as well. I tried different bulbs but they dont turn on anymore. I checked the fuses and they are good. Does anyone know what to do next?

nope, never touched it til it went out. Talked to the dealer and they said that I would have to pay a fee for one of the techs to check it out. Thats not even fixing the problem.

yeah there are two fuses for the parking lights, so the fuse you are looking for is a little black box in the front of the engine fuses box, in that little box it hold three fuses and one for the parking lights

What did you have in there that could have possibly shorted it out? Was it one of those cheap chinese bulbs with the very loose bent contact wires?
