Default Rh Running Light Problem- HELP!

Hey Guys,
On my 08 Convertible, my passenger side orange light thats in the headlight will not come on when the cars running like the left one does, so i figured it was a bad bulb. However, if i press the lock button and stand in front of the car, the light does work.

Any help on this? Looks stupid driving around with one parking light.

Thanks!

I would check for a lose wire or connector. Pull tire and there is a cover plate in the wheel well. remove that to get to the wires/connectors for the lights.

Check for power when running.

It's probably the bulb man. The running light uses the turn-signal filament, and I'm pretty sure the door lock flashing uses the parking light filament. Bulbs are dual-filament. But to know for sure what your problem is, also run the hazards and parking lights, then just swap your bulbs and find out. Good luck.
