Hey, this may be a stupid question but...my left turn signal will blink but the running light doesn't stay on. In other words, the light is dark unless I turn the directional signal on. Could this just be a bulb problem? Are they dual filament or do I have a wiring problem? I know, I could just buy a bulb and test it but....thought you all might have experienced this.
Thanks!

Sounds like you need a new 1157 bulb. You've probably lost the main filament in the bulb. Best guess!Retrofed wrote:Hey, this may be a stupid question but...my left turn signal will blink but the running light doesn't stay on.

Thanks Bill...that did the trick...it just needed an 11587 bulb! Have you used the new LED bulbs yet? Folks tell me that they are much brighter and fit right in like a regular filament bulb.
