Turn signal will blink but not stay on when running

I changed out my corner light lenses in my '83 300D this weekend and now the running light on the right side will not work. It will blink when the turn signal is activated but will not light up when the running lights or headlights are turned on. Does anyone have a labeled photo of the 4 pin box? Please tell me it just needs a cleaning of the connectors or a tightening of the plugs?

The euro amber corners are great, they look like two big glowing ripe peaches, just dripping orange dark peachy goodness lodged into the front of my car......juicy peaches....







whaa.......?

Do I understand correctly you switched to Euros?
Is there a two element bulb? Perhaps the running one is burned out.

i switched to euro lenses but just put in the sockets and bulbs that were on the car to begin with. they worked fine but i must have done something to the right side in the process.

i don't know if they are a two element bulb, can anyone answer that? if so, that's probably the culprit.

Your best bet would be to pull it and have a look see. Yet mine stays lit when the blinker is on between blinks.
