Quick headlight wiring question?

When i bought my car i noticed that the passenger side headlight wasn't wired properly (park lights). But the headlight was replaced at one point so i guess they just screwed it up when they put in the new one. And since i'm going to be doing my retro this weekend i might aswell fix it.

It's probably an easy fix but here's what my park light looks like as of right now



What do i do to fix it?

Re: Quick headlight wiring question?

more than likely the pasenger side turn signal bulb is burnt (the park light filament of it) and so is the driver side clear park light. turn bulb is a dual filament 7443, and park is a 168 (or w5w if you want brighter). i would get a new pair of each because they do get dimmer over time and will not match new ones due to black deposit buildup inside.
