Default Strange Headlight Issue

When I turn on my park lights the left headlight burns on a low current. Does anyone know what would cause this?

That's what it supposed to do. What you're seeing is the small parking/running light. The other headlight has one, also (must be burnt out).

Replace the running light bulb in the headlight that is not coming on in the parking light position.

Well I be darn. I would have never thought that is what it is suppose to do. I would say you are right on the right one being burnt out because when I purchased the car it had not had much love given to it. I know I replaced at least 7 bulbs inside and out on that car.

Hey thanks for your help on that. I thought for sure I had a short of some sort grounding it out.
