Default Passenger side running light wiring problem

Has anyone seen the running lights go dead? Both the orange and white running lights in my passenger headlight are not functioning. Tried other bulbs for the white, the orange look like LEDs built into the head light.

Hasn't worked in about a year, just always figured it was a dead white bulb until today when I went to put in new bulbs.

Hoping someone has seen this before, before I have to get all crazy deep into the wiring. My headlights are all stock unmolested.

Confirmed chassis side wiring problem. There is no power coming in from the chassis harness connector for headlight accessories

Damn, and I thought only German cars had BS wiring problems

Problem solved. There was a broken wire pinched in a connector at my IPDM module by the battery.

Last time I was in there, apparently I pinched it in one of the large lever connectors and didn't feel the resistance and broke the wire. It's a very small wire maybe 18-20 gauge
