Help!! DRL, side markers, all rear parking lights out! Blown fuse? or Worse?
I was doing a face lift on the GS installing all new stuff when I decided to install some LED wedge bulbs into the sidemarkers to complete the lift. Well after I installed them the pass side went dud so I unlatched it from the sidemarker and fiddled with the LED bulb with everything still on. 
I gave it a lil nudge it gave a bright flash and everything went dead. (everything = DRL, side markers, and all rear parking lights even license plate). I assume I threw a fuse and went to look for a blown fuse. I checked the box on both left and right side of the engine bay (checked only the blade fuses and not the big plugs), and also the fuse cluster inside the cabin on the driver foot well.
I cant figure out what I did wrong, can anyone help!!!!!

I think it is the fuse box near the battery. The cover should show which it is and what amps. You can also search the 2GS section for "headlight fuse" or similar to find the answer for sure. I'm sure its been covered many times.

what do you mean turn the bulb? The kit came with a harness with 2 plugs on one side and another plug for the another LED bulb. The side with the 2 plugs I plugged it into the bulb and resistor it came with and then plug the other side into the LED bulb. I think I did the process right. All my parking lights and stuff still works. Its just my DRL that doesn't

The bulb is non-polar so it will light up any direction you install the plug. Make sure these things first:
1. Check the fuse like everyone has stated. On the newer Lexus vehicles, its usually on the fuse box inside the engine bay on the side.
2. Make sure the installation is as shows below:
