911 Electrical

If anybody can help, had the front bumper replaced, come to find out the guy ran a wire from the right side to the left to
power up my running lights. Only the right side worked.

So where can I check to power up my left side?

A guy ran a wire from the right to the left side..............

I would say check that there is current exiting the right side and that the current is being received and grounded on the left side.

If you want to do it correctly, like maybe how the company designed it to work, there are other options.

New bumper. Factory or plastic aftermarket? Perhaps year of car if not too much of a bother.

In the headlight bucket there should be the running and turn signal wires that branch out the bottom of the bucket to the bumper area.
