Did you triple check all your lights?

I had the super blinkers on the way back from Expo, since I busted the right turn signal bulb. When I put the correct one, it's working fine.

Also, check to see if your brake light bulb(which has two filaments: one for parking light & one for brake light) hasn't had its filaments melt into one filament. (some times one of them brake & latches into the other filament & cause a short).

i am not sure if the 98+ tegs are wired like 94-97 but check the corners again.

when you turn on the blinker, does the corner light get brighter? if it does not, then change that bulb. HTH

times. Actually I think that my instructor would have noticed if it was a brake lights. And I just checked my lights again and all worky.

EDIT: GOT IT TO WORK...weird problem though...here is the fix...

There is three grooves on the main turn signal bulb. Two of them guide the bulb to the two contacts located at the base of the connector. The other (third) groove has a copper connector that actually has to make contact with the metal at the base of the bulb. This was damaged when I tried the euro Phillips bulbs from Trevor (Visual Dynamics). So when I bent those back, (so that the would make contact) viola! All works good....

I am so happy, because its a pesky annoying problem....no more!

there should be a flasher relay. You may want to check that if all the bulbs are ok.
