Default Headlight Issue

last night I noticed something strange with my headlights. At night when I had my lights on, one of the inner two "daytime lights" was out.
But then when I switched the headlights to the off position, both the daytimes were working just fine. I tried turning the lights on and off multiple times to try and get that one light to work but I got nothing.

Has anyone ever experienced this problem before?

I think your DRL is working fine. DRL uses the hi beam bulb (9005), and undervolt them. What is not working right is your parking light, they used small wedge bulb. Take a closer look on your light, and you will see which one is not working. I think your wedge bulb, one of them, is not working. Easy to replace.

I took a closer look at it, and you're right! Thank you very much!
