Check some more fuses... Especially if you replaced the bulbs already.

There is one under the dash on the front driver's side and another one under the dash on the front passenger's side.

Sounds like a fuse to me. Otherwise I would take it back and have them fix it

Your car manual is also helpful at times.

Good luck

You're power outlet fuse is out. Stick your head under the driver's seat and look for the fuse block there.

Yes 5 months...I will never go back to that body shop even though they did a great job. Time is money on this deal, I had a rental car forever. Even though the insurance paid 80% of it. The only reason why I am trying to fix the light problem myself is because I dont want them to hold on to the car for a day that might turn into a week.
