Question LED install disater

I went to install a new LED on my side marker's today and i get home from buying the LED's and i go to put them in and they dont fit which is what ever ill go buy some more later but as i go to put everything back to the way it was i notice that my turn signal's and my hazard button's are not working at all my turn arrow's arent even working on my dash and my hazard signal button each time i press it it dim's but does not do anything I am completely stumped on this any suggestion's guy's?

I'd normaly say your flasher relay (the hazard switch IS the relay) is bad - it controls turn signals, etc. But I don't know how you could have messed it up by messing with your side marker lens/bulbs unless you shorted it. I don't know what else to say other than to suspect your flasher realy is bad.

Don't know what else to tell you other than it could be a freak coincidence and that the flasher relay is sort of a common failure part.
