Was their a long metal plate on the inner fender side for attaching the parking lights? If so (and there should be), you want to make sure that metal is touching metal or you will not have a good ground. You'll need that ground for the lights to work.
In other words, if there is a lot of paint or undercoating on the inside of your fender, you'll need to revisit. If not now, sometime after you discover the parking lights don't work.
You can ask me how I know this, but you probably have that all figured out.
