Are you talking about the front lights? There are two seperate bulbs. One for the turn signals and one for the parking lights. The paking light bulbs are the small #194 bulbs near the bottom of the housing. You have to partially remove the fender liner to access them.

I'm not talking about the parking lights. I'm talking about the same light that acts as the turn signal that stays ON all the time when you're headlights are on. The orange glow.

When I hit the turn signal, the bulbs come on - but they don't stay on.. The other bulbs that are smaller are working just fine

I am confused now. Each AP1 (you have an AP1 right?) headlight housing has four bulbs. 1 low beam, 1 high beam 1 parking light (the small bulb that shines through the amber diffuser) and 1 turn signal bulb (larger bulb that shines through the amber diffuser.

If you are talking about the large turn signal bulb it only blinks with the turn signals on. It does not light otherwise. If you look at the bulb you will see there is only one fillament in the bulb.

There are other cars that have dual fillament bulbs that act as turn signal AND parking lights.

When you had the bulb out did it have two elements or one?

If it only has one then it will only light when the blinker is on. I suspect this is the case.
