My daytime driving lamp not working

and when I turn on the headlights the right bulb is blown. Actually the r/light blew last week but I solved it by driving with my hi-beams on (temporarily) but then the next day when I turned the lights on, the r/side was back on again. (weird) It was working fine until this morning, I was driving to work and I noticed that my r/side light bulb was blown, I tried turning on the hibeams but it was still off. I turn off the lights all together then I noticed that even my daylight lamps aren't working. I kinda like the look though with the daylights off, like the pre-90's kind of car but I just thought it was weird that even the daylights aren't working. Just wanted to know if this ever happened to any of you..
I wonder if the bulb actually blew out, I never actually checked if it's still there.. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

The DRL is on a serial circuit of some kind. Whenever I had a blown bulb the DRL would not come on, and you'll get the DRL indicator on the dash.

Just replace your right bulb now that it's blown, or put stock ones back in , hahaha...

I figured that all I need to do was change the bulbs but the DRV light never stayed on before when I got the similar problem. And like Macrossranma said, the hi-beams would work fine before. I just thought it was strange that it didn't this time. I guess the bulb is TRULY gone
Thanks for the advise guys!!!

There are two filaments in the H4 bulbs, one for low and one for high. DRL is highbeam at half power, so that's why if your low beam goes your DRL and high beam will still work, whereas if your high-beam is gone your DRL will be gone too coz the circuit is broken then.

Headlight bulbs too... remember the night of the "cages"?

Quoting Stunna: "Damn, I blew another one???"
