As the title says, I have encountered a problem.

over the weekend, I made the switch from the 2016 bumper to the 2016 nismo bumper. Part of this conversion included changing from the stock daytime running lights (DRL) to the Carbonsignal nismo DRL.

while removing the stock bumper, I cut the wiring to the stock DRL. after the swap, The new DRL (5 LED per side, individually wired, wired all five ground/power together separately to form two larger wires.) were wired to the stock ground/power wires. both drivers and passenger side were cut and wired identically.

The battery was not disconnected when the wires were cut (first passenger, then drivers) but was disconnected after.

after reconnecting the battery, firing the car back up (and admiring the new bumper) I took the parking brake off only to see.... ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE DRL ARE ILLUMINATED. (though it looks fantastic.

does anyone know what could be causing this issue? as I mentioned, both sides were wired identically.
