It's not... really...

The front side markers have the parking light feed (brown) and the turn signal (light blue - left front, Dark blue right front). This allows the light to work as both a marker light and turn signal indicator. You might want to check your right front bulb to make sure it's working properly. The side marker will not work properly if the front bulb is not correct, due to how the side marker sources it's ground through other bulbs and the turn signal switch.
