Default Front right marker , and rear tail running lights dead..

When i turn my headlights on my front right amber is not lighted along with my right rear tail light not working. But the turn signals both work. and brake lights work. Is this a wiring issue or something simple? I need a since of direction so i don't spend all day diagnosing something I can be pulled over for.

Oh forgot.... 2001 xj sport

Have you checked your fuses? Could be a headlight switch. If you check your fuse, and that one is bad, then it could be the problem!!

Low and behold it was a fuse after ripping my dash apart to get to the headlight switch. Good news however, Now I can clean all the dust and dog hair out from behind my dash trim

Can you tell me which fuse was the culprit? I've just noticed the very same issue with front amber marker and rear marker with the headlights on but on the left side. All bulbs work when signaling/braking. I've checked every fuse I can find but no bad ones. A few empty slots for fuses but I assume those are for spares. Anyway, which fuse did you find that was bad? Thanks
