Parking light question

Ok, when I turn on the parking lights my drivers side parking light (next to the headlight) will not turn on. However, when I hit the turn signal in that direction (left) it works perfect. Im stumped....any ideas??? Thanks in advance.

it is a quick fix REPLACE bulb. The 1157 PN# bulb is a dubble fill bulb one is for parking light and other is for blinker.
To make sure it is not an wireing prob just switch the left one with the right one but i am 99% sure it is a bad bulb

Thanks GTA Fanatic, when I looked at it quick it only looked like one bulb. 88CamaroSC, I live on the northern end of Glenville, on the Schenectady/ Saratoga County border. What color is your car and where do you live?
