The parking lights on both sides, on the fender part, don't work. The ones on the very edge work fine though. I find it hard to believe that both lights went out at the same time. I checked a couple fuses that seemed like they would be it, and they were fine. Is there another fuse these are connected to? What should I be looking for?

Not really sure which lights are out. Is your ash tray light out also? If it is check fuse #14. Are your tail lights and license plate light out also? If yes check fuse # 12. Hope this helps.

I am talking about the corner lights in front by the headlights. The lights that are out are on the side of the car. I checked all fuses you said and they are fine.

The grey box that has a bell that dings when you don't put your seatbelt on, the one kinda behind the ash tray has something to do with those lights if I remember correctly. My dads were acting up like yours on his old 88 accord. He switched out the box and they all worked again. I would do that if all the fuses turn out to be ok.

Hmm, how much of a cost are we looking at here? Any other input, or are the 40 people who have viewed this just as stumped as me?

It can't be too expensive for the control box down there, I would just grab one from the junkyard. 5- 10 bucks maybe?

There is box that is in the light system, it's called side marker control unit. I'm not sure where it is, it could very well be the box mentioned above.

You're right, you never know. Don't overlook the the simple fix.
