I know this is easy, but I don't feel like hunting for the problem, I just want to quickly fix it when I get home from work today. So someone else do the thinking for me
The front parking lights won't work, whether the switch is on just Parking or full headlights. The back lights do come on when the switch is on Parking. Is it just the front bulbs that went out simultaneously for some strange reason, or is there an individual fuse for the front parking lights?
It's possible that I could have ruined the filaments in the bumper cover change, since those bulbs did get swung around and hit a few times...

It wouldn't be that weird for both bulbs to go out at the same time... They're the same age, and when one blows out there's a small momentary increase in power disippated by the other one. If you smacked them around a little that couldn't help. :)
Pretty easy to check, though... Just try putting another bulb in (I think your reverse light or turn signal bulbs would fit in), or test the bulb with an ohmmeter, or check if there's power coming off the bulb socket.
