Default Strange Signal Light Problem!

I have a 3rd gen Integra.

I've encountered a strange problem in recent weeks and i've had some trouble figuring it out.

The problem rests with my signal lights. For those of you with 3rd generation integras, you know that when you signal, there are actually two bulbs that flash intermittenly. One, then the other, then the first, and so on.

Well, here's my problem. On the right side (passenger), both signal bulbs light up (one, then the other, then the first, etc).

On the drivers side, only one of the two bulbs lights up. This is the same on the rear signals.

Does anyone know whether it could be a fuse or something else?

They shouldn't blink at the same time but sequentially.
I would try taking out the lens that's blinking wrong and check the bulb. It probably just has the wrong bulb in it, You probably need to replace the one bulb with one that has two diodes. (It looks like it has Two pieces inside the glass.)

Your right, they blink sequentially.

The problem is, the entire drivers side does not do this. Only one bulb actually lights in both the front and rear of the drivers side.

Check the bulb inside, does it have Two pieces inside or just one?
The reason it needs two is for when its on normally, and then when you use your turn signal for it to blink.

any of the bulbs that are used for a turn signal or brake light, unless it has two bulbs has to have two metal pieces(diodes) inside.

1. check to see if correct bulb size, replace if not
2. check to see if bulb is still good
3. check fuses
if you havent done so already!....then, just go from there! good luck!

That's my question:

Is there two fuses for each signal light?

Both the front and rear drivers side exhibit the same problems.
