Default Problem with light

When i turn my headlights on the right arrow comes on, the front passenger side bulb is out under the headlight. The directional works but the running light is out, while changing the bulb i found a broken wire and fixed it but it did not solve the problem, tried a new bulb as well, any help would be appreciated

It's much easier to offer advice when the poster's profile is filled out with the specifics as to year, equipment etc. Adding that info to a post can also be helpful and generate more accurate responses and interest in your problem.
