Hey Everyone,

When I got my car, I noticed that the passenger DRL light did not work. The blinker and hazards work fine since it is a dual filament bulb.

I went to Autozone and picked up a set of new 7444's and installed one. Everything was working fine. Then just today the same thing happened. The DRL only portion of the bulb blew. You can clearly see a hazing inside the bulb from the failure, but the blinker side of things still works.

Can anyone offer suggestions on what to check / how to troubleshoot? If there was a short, wouldn't a fuse blow before the bulb?
