Front Bulb Replacement
I did a search and found the following info. I think it's the DRL bulb on the passenger side that is out.
Can someone explain the "back off one position to kill the lights" part?
Are the DRL bulb and turn signal bulb the same?
Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.

Back off means once the headlights are up, click the switch back one click to turn off the headlights up, but off.
The bulbs are one in the same.
Take care not to loose the rubber O-ring that is on the bulb fixture.
If you have Popeye arms like mine, it's a good idea to remove the hood adjustment bumper on the side you are working on.
Good Luck.

By turning the switch back one your headlights will go out and will leave the parking lights on.
