annoying little problem with turn signals

Hey hey, i dont wanna drive around town with a real fast blinker, it only does that when i turn left, i changed the bulb to some whiter ones up front. And now the thing blinks as fast as a....you get the point. Seems like all the lights are working. I dont know why.

You either have the wrong bulb or a burnt out light. Make sure all four of your turn signals are in good working order; if they are, then recheck the voltage rating on your new bulbs to make sure they match the stock specs. If these all check out o.k. then you may have a corroded (sp.?) bulb socket. I had a nasty build up of corrosion in one of my front signal sockets and it made the bulb hyper-blink ever now and then. I just took a wire brush to it and some electrical contact cleaner and it has been working fine ever since.

I agree with Samps .. it is probably the bulb socket. Try removing the bulb, clean the housing/socket/etc real well, then reinstall it. I recently changed the front bulbs and had the same issue.
