I was installing aftermarket LED headlights, turn signal bulbs, and running light bulbs. Upon taking out the old connector and installing the new one with the new bulb. The front and rear running lights on the left side went out. While the side that was not tampered with remained lit. I thought the aftermarket connector was making a bad connection so i replaced it with the same stock connector and stock bulb and still nothing. I finished the job with aftermarket housings, headlight and turn signal bulbs with resistors added to the turn signal circuit. I dont know whether i popped a fuse i still have to look. But i'm not sure that'll fix the problem.

Yes, most likely you popped a fuse. Check fuse #8 and # 10 in power distribution center in engine compartment. Here is a guide to help test the fuse with the fuse location below.

Not likely to be a relay. Left and right side uses different fuse.

There are so many possibilities but we should always start with the basics and simplest.

I have replaced all tail light bulbs with 3057 bulbs which are supposed to be the correct bulbs. I kept replacing the fuse with the standard 20 amp I have even tried over-fusing with 30 amp fuses. The tail lights will stay on from 2 - 20 minutes just depends.
