looks great!

quick question: if everything else still working perfect, but my parking light does not come on (not even when my low beam is on) at all, does this rule out the possibility that the fuss is blown?

i told the dealer, but they said it's normal but from your pic it clearly is not (your parking light is on with low beam)

It would most likely be either the fuse or the bulb itself. Just replace it with aftermarket parking lights, makes a nice subtle difference

Looks great! Increased visibility and fog lights look cool! Win-win!

thanks for the reply i think it most likely would be bulb it self because i doubt there is a fuse dedicated just for parking light (since everything else still working), right ?

why would you even want it to come on? it just makes the headlight look busy. im planing on removing mine for a cleaner look
