Default Help with headlight issue

Hey Guys,

Ive tried searching everywhere and cant find anyone who has the same issue as I do so hoping you can shed some light on this.

about a week ago the right front turn signal would stop working occassionally, i would get a warning on my display and then it would go away. Went to the store and ordered a new one. Stupid me let the associate look up the part number and i was out the door. I pulled my right front headlight assembly and low and behold wrong bulb. I put everything back and it was back to normal for a couple of drives. now, none of the front right lights work in the entire assembly. I get these errors on my Driver HUD:

Front right Turn signal
Right Parking light
Right Dipped Headlight
Right main beam headlight.

any ideas as to the cause? I've re-seated the assembly, checked the fuse box to find out there are no fuses for either headlight. Research has told me it could be a hazard relay?? I've done a lot of repairs (turbo, radiator, heater cores etc) myself however electrical systems are not my strong suite.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Check all the connections, inside the headlight and where the headlight connects to the rest of the wiring harness.

I highly doubt its the hazard switch.

I would still get the right turn signal bulb it's probably on its last legs.

OEM part number for the bulb is N10475902

jason is right. I would check the connections at the rear of the housing! Might just have a loose connector.

Solved! I used a meter to check the wiring, it was shorting out where the wires wrapped around a piece of sheet metal, fixed it with some electrical tape and we are good to go! Thanks for the responses though guys!!
