Hello, i just joined the clublexus team about 2 minutes ago 'cause i feel this is the site for awesome feedback from awesome people i just recently purchased a 2001 Lexus ES300 and i have a problem with the left signal light. it seems to blink faster than the right one. i'm assuming there's something wrong with the wiring but i don't wanna risk opening up the housing to check it out. any help? much appreciated

Most likely a burnt out bulb. Turn the signal on, then check the front and rear lights. Bet one of them dont work.

i actually checked to see if it blinked faster than the right one and it did. and when i hit the emergency lights, the left would blink first then the right would blink simultaneously. i plan to fix it on my own since i don't wanna pay for more than i'm supposed to.

Were all the bulbs lighting up front and rear, both left and right?

all of the signal lights function properly once turned on. i just checked right now. the rear tail lights both blink at the same time but the front lights blink after the other.

Check the front bulbs and the sockets. If there is burn marks on the socket assembly, replace them and get new bulbs.

does one blink a little dimmer than the other? if so change the bulb tha is dimmer i would reccomend changing them both though

they both light up perfectly fine, but it's just they don't blink at the same time, the left one blinks way faster than the right one. even on the dashboard it shows that the left is faster than the right. i plan to replace the bulbs but i was also thinking it might be the fuse or something like that
