Does anyone know if the nonLed DRL bulbs are 2 filament?

The reason I am asking is because when I remote start my Gladiator the passenger side DRL is not lit up. But when I push the start button the DRL comes on. The DRL is on during normal engine run time.

I have 35,000 miles on my Gladiator and before I go and pull the fender wall down to change the bulb I was hoping to find out if anyone knows if it is a 2 filament or 1. Because if it’s 1 then I’ve got an electrical issue that I need to get into the dealership before I turn 36K.
Thanks

no need to pull the fender. I don't remember, but I think it's just a bolt and maybe a christmas tree plug.
Reach right under the liner and twist out the old bulbs and twist in the new ones. At least that's the way it was on my JTR.
good luck

I believe they are dual filament. Upon turning on running lights (with heads or fogs) they dim.

The DRL is a dual filament 7443 bulb. Attached is the bulb and harness I pulled out of mine to replace with the Morimoto sequential drls. You will have to pull back the liner. Kind of a pain but it's fairly thin and you can bend it back enough to squeeze your arm in.

Thank you!!
Hey, I just noticed I'm having the same issue... even the same milage!
Figured it was just the bulb, but "almost" at the end of warranty, so if it's not just a bulb.
Can you let me know what you find.
Thanks!

I am not going to get to it before my warranty runs out. But I do believe ot is a dual filament like the picture shows that Klicht87 posted. I had a transmission issue that I’ve been trying to get taken care of and now my heated steering wheel isn’t working with 300 miles left in my warranty. Sorry. But when I do I will post.

I don't think bulbs are covered under warranty so I would just spend the ~$5 and replace the bulb and see what happens. Don't pay a dealer 10x that just to replace it. I highly doubt it's anything more than a burned out bulb. Just my recommendation.
