Default Turn Signal is Sticking, Help!

My friend has a '93 Hatch that he bought about two months ago. The previous owner, who I am also friends with, wrecked the car into a guardrail when it was raining hard one day. He cracked the front bumper on the drivers side and busted the turn signal part of the headlight, at the time it had a one piece headlight on it. The previous owner didn't fix the car at all before he sold it and he just left it the way it was. The time between when he wrecked it and when he bought it was about 8 months so with the cracked headlight and all dirt was bound to get up in the headlight. Once he bought the car, I helped him replace the turn signal light. Once we got the new bulb in there is when the left signal would stay on, but it was only when the headlights were on, when they weren't on it would work like normal. What could cause this?

Thanks in advance.

The wrong bulb is installed. It needs a 2-filament not 1-filament bulb.
