Sounds like a bad bulb if everything else is working. I believe itll be a 9004 model bulb. There is a black collar behind the headlight. Turn it and the bulb can be pulled out.

Oops, i missed that. So you have no turns or high beams on either side? Im a bit confused at whats working and what isnt.

Drivers headlight - works
Drivers turn - ?
Drivers marker - works
Drivers fog - works

Pass headlight - dim
Pass turn - ?
Pass marker - ?
Pass fog - ?

Sounds more like a wiring issue. A well worn wire wont carry current like it used to.

you may have a bad ground or a bad socket or shorted bulb and possibly a bad flasher relay..I don't believe all the problem s are related you may have more than one issue at hand
