Headlight amber bulb issue

I wasn't sure how to search for this issue so I made a new thread hoping someone would have had some similar experience. This morning on the way to work I noticed that one of my side amber lights, specifically the driver's side light which was not lighting up. It only works with the turn signal, not for regular use, while the other passenger side one works fine. The bulbs are less than a year old as I installed these retrofits last summer.

Any ideas?

Haha no, they are not sir. Regardless it's the amber, which has been left stock. It shouldn't the builder I wouldn't think.

It's a dual filament bulb, I'm gonna guess the filament for the running light blew.

Pop it out and look

That'd be good man, I'll let you know. I'm gonna play around with it a bit after work and make sure it's not the bulb or something. **** I hate taking them out though, I hate making sure the high beam wires are situated right

I don't know, how many forum members does it take to change a bulb?

(Insert joke about MKulrey placing blame on everybody in the forum for his bulb being out here)
