    2007 Grand Prix GXP, driver side front parking lamp doesn't illuminate. Passenger side does, but driver side only works as a blinker. Found a few people with the same issue online that never posted whether or not they found the fix or not. Anyone know? Not a fuse or anything that simple =/

    Check and clean up the ground wires and make sure you have tight connections

    Do the parking lamps have their own ground? Or are you referring to the ground behind the driver headlight?

    More info I forgot to say, I wiggled every wire I could find, replaced the bulb, tried cleaning things, and nothing was dirty or broken that I could find and no amount of wiggling wires would even make that parking lamp flicker or anything

    I would clean the socket with electronic cleaner(CRC QD is good), then some fresh dielectric grease. Maybe try swapping the bulb from the other side as well. What is the part number of the replacement bulb you used? Check it good also, even new bulbs can be bad.

    The replacement bulb still lit up just as the one in it now, but only with the blinker. The socket that the bulb plugs into was clean, no dirt or anything, no corrosion or broken wires that I could see or find. The bulb in it was also clean and had no corrosion or any dirt on it. The replacement pack of bulbs came with 2, I suppose I could try the second bulb and see if anything changes

    Update, swapped both of the old bulbs with one another, the old bulb that does not work on the drivers side does work on the passenger side, and neither bulb works on the drivers side. Bulbs have been ruled out.

    Not sure, maybe socket change. This is probably the one, be sure to check it is correct if you decide to purchase. Clean the ground under the headlight as well, and follow the wires to see if there is another ground.
