I swapped the working left side bulb for the non-blinking right side 
bulb. The right side bulb works in the left socket, the left bulb does 
blink in the right socket. So I would not think the problem is with the 
filaments.

Dumb question - the bulbs has 2 little 'tits' (technical term I'm sure) 
on the base which makes contact with the 2 wires in the socket. I've 
always assume the 2 make a complete circuit flowing to and from bulb. Or 
is 1 wire connection for running light filament and 2nd wire for 
blinking filament?

Thanks again,

Jim
