Strange light issue

My driver side yellow fog/blinker light doesnt work... sometimes. When I turn on my headlights it doesnt light up, as if I have a bad bulb or something. But when I use my turn signal it will blink properly. Any ideas on what my issue could be? Hopefully my post makes sense

You could try replacing the bulb and seeing if that fixes your problem.

The turn signal bulb actually consists of two filaments


A low power filament for the running light when you have the parking lights or headlights on


A high power filament for the turn signals, hazards, and "flash" when you lock the car with the remote


So basically in your situation, the low power filament has burned out but the high power filament still works.



Solution: Change light bulb.
