Headlight Problems

Hey.

I have had this kinda re occuring headlight issue.

Right now the front righ light is out, and the light on the dash is on.

The thing is, it was like this for 2 weeks, then it went away for a few days, now it's back again.

I really don't know what's wrong.

The problem is that I don't know if I need to change the bulb or if something else is wrong. If it's just the bulb I would try to fix this myself, but I don't want to take everything apart and then it's something else, you know?

A weird thing is that, my front right BLINKER (orange thing) has a little crack, but WORKS FINE. At first I though the light on the dash was on cause maybe some water got into the blinker's crack, but nope, it works fine after many rains, but the light just BESIDE it is perfect but doesn't work. So I guess they're not related but just wanted to mention it here in case they somehow are.


I'm going in for service on the first of second week of May so I would bring this is up then, HOWEVER, I'll be getting my G1 with this car the week of April 26. So I don't think I'll be allowed to do it if the headlight is out, or will it be okay?

Thanks.

Simple diagnostic

switch the foglight bulbs, right to left, see if the problem moves. If yes, bulb problem.
