Default weird lighting issue

the amber lights on the passenger side of my car wont come on. If I hit my hazards they blink and my turn signals work, but when I turn on my lights they don't come on, its so weird. The lights get power for hazards and turn signals but not when I turn the lights on. Any ideas on what might be causing it. I'm checking my fuses but they all seem to be okay.

Or the previous owner put single-filament bulbs in where dual-filament bulbs should be. Verify that each malfunctioning bulb is identical to its working counterpart on the other side of the car.

Nice easy fix, when it comes to electrical stuff like that I like to start at the problem and work my way down the line.
