Turn Signal Issue

I posted this in lighting but have gotten no response. My drivers side turn signal is not on when my headlights are on, so i thought the bulb might have gone out. However, I noticed that when I put my blinker on to turn left, the turn signal will flash normally. What could be causing it to not light up normally?

Any auto parts store should have them. Just make sure you get the right bulb

I thought the 06 sedans use a 7440 in the front turn signal which is actually a single filament bulb. It does not light up unless the turn signal is engaged. it's the same on my 04......

'05 and '06 is definitely a two filament bulb. Like this:

Front turn signal/Parking lamp : 12V - 21/5W

Yep. Passengers side is always lit up. Drivers side only comes on when turning. I am going to get a new bulb today. Just wish I would have known it was the bulb sooner. I just installed 8k HIDs the other day haha. Now I gotta open up the wheel well again
