Default 2007 Tahoe Side Courtsey Lights under mirror

Hello, I am new to the site. Have a issue maybe someone can help me with.

Little about me. First Off.
Live in Florida
2007 Tahoe LT
All options except power running boards
5.3L
HID 6k - Head Lights
HID 8K - Fog Lights
22'' Foose Rims (looking for something different, chrome is pitting)
Cold Air Intake
FlowMaster Mandrel Bent Kit from Flowmaster (no muffler shop job)
Soon to have a EFI Alchmey dyno and computer program

2007 Tahoe. I am in the process of switching out all of my lights to LED.
I noticed a while back that the side marker/ Courtsey lights under the mirror on the front doors wasnt working. I assumed that the bulbs had burned out. I installed LED (yes i know they have polarity) but I can not get power to those sockets. I tested for continuity and it seems to be good (the wire seems to be intact)...

What I have Checked.
Continuity
Fuse
bulbs

Could there be a ground issue? I would think if there was, I would have other issues as well..Which I do not
Is there some sort of switch or maybe setting in the dash??

If anyone has had this issue or know a fix or where to start, help is greatly appreciated...

Welcome to the forum.

You do know how the "puddle lites" are turned on, right?

Have you checked out Blackbear tunes?

Puddle lights. I like that!

I have not checked past what I posted...Been to busy, but ist there a switch above the fog light switch?

Am I missing something here? This is why I joined this forum, So I can look dumb while all of you guys have the simple easy fixes

They only come on when you unlock w/ the fob and I think only at nite but not sure about that. You can cover the sensor if that's true and get them to turn on in the daytime.

Of course the owner's manual might also explain this.

IIRC, the switch above the fogs is for the interiors.

Useless? Nah, it'll probably help someone down the road. Thanks for reporting back.

Suggest if you haven't already, scroll thru all of the options/settings in the DIC.
