Did you install the plug upside down like you're supposed to?

Did you check your fuse? It might have blown. Its in the engine bay, drivers side fuse box. Check all your HD LP, its a 15 amp micro fuse.

Sounds like you need to swap the wires/pins. LEDs only transfer electricity in one directions. They are diodes!

if you installed it properly, it would turn on just like your factory 9005 use to turn on. doesnt require any new way to turn it on.

turn your car on. leave in park.. take the parking brake off. they should turn on. or u can flash your high beams to test since its the same bulb.

parking lights and DRL is two separate bulbs. your ugly yellow parking light is a 194 Wedge Bulb located towards the top corner of the highbeam/DRL area.

your DRL is on during the daytime when your headlights are off. your DRL turns off when your headlights turn on along with your parking lights.
