- I think that can happen if you have the wiring reversed on the lights, i.e. turn signal is going to side light filament and vice versa. Anyway its an easy check. Greg Lemon ** triumphs@autox.team.net

- John -- My guess would be that you have the wires switched. There are two filaments in the bulb -- one has low wattage (5?) for the illuminated light such as a tail light -- the other is bright (21W?

- That is a sign that the fixture is wired wrong. Swap the two hot wires, so the bright filament is for turn signals and the dim filament for side light (aka parking light in the US). -- Randall ** tr

- I suspect that the wiring is reversed, so you're seeing the brighter filament as the side lamp and the dimmer filament as the flasher. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...

- It's only supposed to mount one way, but I've seen plenty of folks who managed to put it in backwards. Especially easy on an old socket. I recommend that you check the bulb first before you switch th
