Parking light help and DRL upgrade not working
I just bought a 194 wedge (microchip looking thing) and a DRL LED from V-LEDS. First off, the stock parking lights look like bulbs to me (I'm assuming it's the bulb next to the DRL/high beam bulb), unplugged it and the bulb still stays in there. How do I install the 194 wedge, it looks like I bought the wrong one.
As for the DRL LED upgrade, it's not working. Plugged in the bulb to the wiring with the yellow band, module's wire to the stock wire. Turned on all lights, high beam, drove around, restarted the car a few times, still nothing. I'm not sure if there's a correct way to connect it. Other thing is, I only connected one on the driver side and left the passenger side on untouched. I started the car, it lit up for like 2 seconds and then it goes off. Did the fuse or something blew up? Because now both DRLs (upgrade and stock) aren't working. Maybe it was getting to dark, but it might be something else.

yea the one u bought is flat and square and looks like a circuit board, u need the one that sticks out like a bulb for the parking lights. you have to twist the parking light for it to get out. u can use the board led for your interior or trunk light so don't throw it away. for the drl lights, swap sides and make sure both are in. if one doesn't turn on u might have some bad bulbs. make sure everything is connected and in placed.
