headlight/signal light issue

I am taking my 92 in for its safety and a problem just came up. Now when I turn on my headlights my passenger side headlight is dim and my passenger signal light won't work. If I shut the headlights off and just leave the parklights on every thing works fine including the signals. I have changed the headlight switch but it didn't help. Any ideas on where I should start?

Is your DTRL module still operating as it should?

I didn't know I had day time running lights? I have went throught the grounds and they look good. I have also upgraded the size of the grounds and confirmed they are tight. At what point in the circuit does the headlight have anything to do with the signal lamps? Especially with it only effective ting the passenger side. I'll start looking through the wiring diagram and see what gives.

No, an idiot would not have gotten it fixed. You did!
