Default DRL question

During the day my passenger side light nearest the grill works fine.... but at night it doesn't come on.... I keep my setting on auto all the time... At first I thought it was the bulb... but after I changed it out, it still did the same thing... Anyone know what the problem is? Wiring or a fuse maybe?

Its suppose to do that.... The High beam lights goes off and the parking light comes on... During the day when you don't turn on your lights, they (high beam) lights is on at half power

Maybe your parking light (wedge bulb) went out and you confused that with your DRLs. Did you change the high beam bulb out? DRL = high beam at 50% output (this does not turn on at night). Parking lights = small wedge bulbs at bottom of high beam housing (these come on at night)
