Default why won't my front turn signals blink?

the ones in the front bumper blink when i turn them on, but the ones in the upper corners of the the headlight area, they don't blink. they all just stay on.

I put 168's in there. Should I be using a dual filament bulb for those?

they ARE supposed to blink. the front bulb stays lit constant and the back one (closet to fender) blinks. thats why the side marker light is half clear and half amber. I think the stock bulb # is a 194 but it shouldn't matter. might want to check the bulb connections.

91 si. and they used to blink until the bulbs burned out. i replaced them, and now they just stay lit the whole time.

I double-checked, and it appears I used 194's for all 4 bulbs. I suspect I should've used 168's instead for a couple of them. Oh well, off to check the manual.....

front turn signals: 12v-45cp (3497)
front side marker lights: 12v-5w
rear side marker lights: 12v-3cp (168)
