Default Need Help! my passenger side marker light not working....

My right front marker/running light doesnt work, the bulbs are not blown and neither are any of the fuses. The blinker lights still work so i know its not the bulbs. Also when i turn the headlights on the dashlight get really dim. Please if anyone knows the problem or where to start id really appreiciate the input.

2000 jeep xj sport, 157km.

I would double check the bulb. They have a double filament. May be the one that is for the market is bad and not the one for the turn signal. Also check the grounds for the lighting. If the lights go dim the may be a bad or a dirty ground. Just some suggestions to start with. Let us know what you find.
BTW, Welcome to the forum.

Mine didn't work (96 Sport) because the lamp sockets were heavily dielectrically insulated with copper tarnish. I cleaned them out with a welding tip file, coated the bulb contacts with conducting grease and that fixed it.
