Default HELP- Firebird lights don't work on right side

My girlfriend has a 99 Firebird. I just replaced her top two spoiler lights and one of the backs. I was going to replace her pass. side daytime running light because I thought it was out but its not. When the car is running, the pass. DRL is off. When the car is running and the parking lights turned on, the DRL's and the fogs work but the pass. side is half as bright as the left. Whats going on?

There are two filaments in the DRL / turn signal / parking light bulbs. One is bright and the other is dim. The bright filament in the passenger side bulb is burned out so the only time you get any light is when you turn on the parking lights (dim filament).

I'll bet that the right side turn signal goes on but doesn't blink. (WhiteBird knows all and sees all)

Just replace the front right bulb and everything will be work.

I'll second WhiteBird00's idea. That's probably it.

But can't produce valid sentences.

That will teach me to post without proof reading. I type so slowly that my mind has already moved on to something else by the time my fingers catch up.

I'm just now getting back to this thread. Whitebird, you are my savior. That has to be it because the turn signal is definitely not working. Thank you sir!
