Cleared headlights with parking lights/turn signals

So I finally had the courage to clear my headlights! It wasn't too bad except resealing them was not easy and requires a lot of patience.

Everything went well except two things:

1)Before I cleared my headlights the parking light on the right side did not used to turn on when I turned my lights on, but the turn signal worked fine. Now neither the turn signal nor the parking lights work. Could it be the wiring? the bulb?

2)I did some research and supposedly ordered bulbs that light up white and were supposed to be bright. As I said earlier the right side isn't working and the left is not too bright at all and can be hardly seen during day time. Anybody recommend any good bulbs that look nice and still serve their function? Also, how do I change the parking lights without opening up the entire headlight?

Thanks!!

If you move the fender liner out of the way, you can access the parking lights. Reinstall the original bulbs to confirm that the bulbs themselves are bad.

the bulbs are probably installed incorrectly, flip the bulbs 180 degrees and it should start to work
