Question Driver side turn signal working but not the parking light itself?

Having this strange issue and I haven't changed the bulb yet. I swapped out my driver side headlight as it died and that worked fine. I turned on the lights though and the regular parking light isnt working, but when I turn on the turn signal it works...so I'm not sure if it's the bulb, although I could swap it out if I could get the part #'s. The weirdest thing though is this didn't happen until after I swapped the driver side headlight. Everything looks connected fine....I triple checked gosh damnit. Please assist? Thanks fellas

I believe tl uses two filament bulb. One thinner and one thicker.

When bulb is getting older filament is getting weaker. Maybe you just tapped it enough to break.

Change bulb and see.
