front parking lights not working any more
 
this is about my 911 SC 1982

so my front-passenger-side parking orange light was working
front-driver-side not working
today I noticed both are not working
I replaced the front-driver-side BULB but still not working (I got the bulb from AutoZone, I hope is correct)

is it possible that I messed up something with my headlights as I recently replaced the bulbs?)

Fuse box is ok, the rear parking lights work as they should, so it can't be a fuse

any recommendation welcome!!

Check that the current bulbs are good using an ohmmeter.

Check for voltage at the bulb socket with a multimeter or test light.

Are the front and rear bulbs on the same fuse?

Check the ground wiring (brown) might be corroded in/at the housings, maybe knocked the wire.
I don't have an ‘82 diagram where the side lamps body ground point is but mine is on front left side.

thanks all!

so after few tests, it seems a ground wiring problem

also ironically, I tried to pull the cable form the back and magically the bulb started working again..

at least I discovered it is a wiring problem nothing major...
