Default Day running lights not working after bumper removal

I installed the Stillen G3 on a 2014 Z. After I buttoned everything up I noticed my daytime running lights weren't on. I know I connected them....because it was a pain in the *** to do the bumper and the lights myself. So they are connected.

I had the battery disconnected but things were a bit wet from the rain even though I was in a garage....any chance a fuse blew? Is there only one fuse for the DRL? Is there anything else on that fuse that I could test to see if it is the fuse?

If only one of the DRLs is out, I would suspect a wiring problem - probably a bad connector. If both are out, my first guess would be the fuse.

Owner's Manual should have fuse location. If not, the FSM will.

It is both. I'll check the fuse...

If you don't have the OM or FSM, there is a link in my sig.

Visually checking fuses is pretty iffy. Get a VOM (AKA multimeter) - you're just checking continuity, so the cheapest one you can find should be up to the task. If power is off, use the ohms setting; if fuse is good, will read very close to zero across fuse. If power is on, use the volts set to the first choice greater than or equal to 15 DC (not AC) volts; if fuse is good, will read close to zero.
