your car will blink fast if 1 or more bulbs are burnt. It will blink fast on the side of the burnt bulb.

One thing you can try that worked for a while for me is to take the fast blinking bulb out, and gently rub the end with the contacts on concrete, then put the bulb back. That has worked a few times for me.

This has happened to me......all you gotta do is take the bulb out and scuff the bottom contacts w/ sandpaper as well as the bottom of the bulb socket. Once I did this, I had no more fast blinking turn lights.

When your bulbs are almost burned out, they will cause it to double blink, even though it is still lighting up. Just replace them since you're taking out the old bulb anyways.

All lights are working in the front and rear.. I have no idea how to get to the front corner bulb? Do we even have one or is it just the Low and higg beam bulb in the front? this is strange?

Thanks for your guys help..

clean the contacts. sometimes there is gunk and stuff built up and disrupts the connection. or the bulb could be on its way to going bad. replace them both on the side that blinks faster
