Parking and side marker lights

what's up guys. are the parking and side marker lights linked up in any way? meaning, if the driver's side parking light bulb goes out, does that make the side marks light go out too? i'm sure it doesn't but i was changing my side marker light bulb yesterday because it's been out for a while and it still doesn't work after i put a new bulb in. i tried with 3 different bulbs so i'm sure it's not the bulb. also noticed that the parking light is not working either.

also, how hard is it to change the parking light bulb?

do the parking lights take the same bulbs as the side marker bulbs? 194? please help!

No. Check your owners manual for the bulb specs and detailed instructions on how to change the bulbs.

The Drivers side is not that hard but the Passenger side is much harder. You have to remove parts of the ECU box and even then, my hand was scratched to crap after it.

I think there is a DIY in here somewhere.

If it was a fuse then both Parking Lights or both Side Markers would go out.
