Default lost driver side lights 97 cherokee

hey fellas, this is my 1st post on here.. I bought a set of jcr taillight boxes and their led tail light kit from super bright led. I was in the middle of wiring up the driver side and I all the sudden lost power to my running lights and my parking lights up front... what gives? this is a 1997 xj btw. thanks in advance. *edit also I checked the tail light wire for power and there was none..

Glad you found it, but for future reference, whenever you're doing electrical work, disconnect the battery. It's a simple step that's often overlooked, and can not only save you time, but frustration as well.
