Questions about front turn signal lights....

Let me start this thread off by saying, I DID SEARCH!!! I searched "turn signal mod", "utrn signal", "front turn signal qustion", and I couldnt find anything related to what I'm asking.

I noticed that my front turn signal blinker and the amber lower corner light doesnt blink together, I figured thats just the way there supposed to be, but I figured I'd just ask. If you dont know what I'm talking about, I guess I could get a video or picture of what I'm talking about.

Ok, I know some people might want t oknow this too, so I just have to ask, why is my right turn signal blinker faster than the lest turn signal blinker? I know its sort of a noob question, but I figured I could ask while asking the real question.


Thanks,
Snowboi.

when ur front blinker blinks the only other thing which is suppose to blink with it is ur rear turn signal, thats it nothing else blinks with that, also if ur 95/96 ur side marker illuminates brigther.

If one side blinks faster than the other, usually there is a bulb out on the fast-blinking side. Probably one of the ones in the rear deck lid.

Oh, you have the exact problem that I do, my right blinker blinks faster than my left one and when I opened up all the lights I noticed that the front right blinker on my car got a 1157 bulb housing in the light instead of a 1156 like the left one...... the previous owner was in a minor front end collision and so the jackass who fixed the front end just stuff a whole different housing into the light and broke off several of the tabs used to keep it in place........ so now I have to replace everything on the right side.

Thanks for the replies, I did find out that I had a bulb out. I normally do a check every 2 weeks-1 month, but lately I've been really busy, so I missed it. But I did replace it. Blinks normally. It was the front bulb.

For the other question, you know the amber marker light that goes on when the headlights/corner light are turned on? I want both front turn signals and amber side marker light to blink when the turn signal is engaged.
