Default Headlight Help!

Hey all,

So I recently had to get my passenger side headlight replaced due to corroding and rotting of the inside of it (unrepairable). It's been installed and it works for the main bulb, however the other bulbs aren't turning on. I have attached some pics to show what I mean. When I turn the brights on, the LED DRL comes on, but I have a feeling there was a change up in wiring or something. I am hoping this is an easy fix. Anyways, check it out:










Illumination is from cell phone flash






Thoughts guys? I wanted to get rid of the ugly orange DRL so I installed those LED sticks. I would love to have crisp white/blue DRLs and still have great high beams and everything work! lol

BTW, my blinkers work.

TIA

Try swapping the bulbs that do work with those that don't and make sure the bulbs are fully functional.

The LED stick turns on when I turn the highbeams on. That little bulb in the upper left corner stopped working when we swapped the new assembly. I'll try switching the bulbs today and see if that works.

Do you, or anyone, know the part/bulb numbers for the DRLs and that inner area of the assembly where the other two bulbs are? Or in my case, the small bulb and the LED stick. It's been like that for so long I don't remember what I can replace it with.

I believe my LED stick replaced my original 9005 bulbs that were in there. What I can't remember is why I had to use the decoder and what it's purpose was.

Ultimately I want to go back to stock but a different color than that awful orange for the DRLs.

Can someone please point me in the right direction for this to save me from driving to a dealer to get the exact numbers and instructions on what needs to be changed?
