Why is my turn signal dim at night?
The right one is almost not noticeable at night and hardly visible during the day. Now, whenever I turn on my headlights the two turn signal indicators in the dash light up…but the right arrow is always dimmer than the left.

Why is my turn signal flashing really fast?
If your turn signal is flashing really fast on one side and flashing normally on the other, it means one of your bulbs is burned out on the side that is flashing really fast.
What to do if your rear lights flash?
If only the inner-most rear lights flash (and the front lights), use a tester to determine whether there is power available at the red harness connector on the Green-White (left turn signal on) and on the White-Blue (right turn signal on) wires. If both signals are OK, the sequential flasher unit in the trunk is most likely bad.

Why do emergency lights and turn signal lights not flash?
If the emergency lights and turn signal lights illuminate but don’t flash, check first for a burned-out bulb. This is the most common cause. If not, you may be dealing with a bad flasher unit or a bad turn signal switch. See the sections ‘Testing the Turn Signal Flasher’ and ‘Checking the Turn Signal Switch.’

Why is the parking light brighter than the direction light?
They come with two brown wires and one black wire, which is the ground. You can’t tell which brown wire goes to directional and which goes to parking. The direction light draws more current and glows brighter than the parking light, and if you wire them backward, the directionals won’t work.

You said you replaced it so there is either a bad connection to power to the socket or the ground side is bad and not making connection for some reason. Since the front signal doesn’t work when the headlights are on this would indicate a bad ground connection for the lights. Try cleaning the grounds to the chassis under the hood.
