Right side turn signal keeps going out, what gives? Something making it short/blow?
After my right signal went out, I replaced all the bulbs, and it worked fine for a few days. Then the bulb went out again, so I replaced the popcorn front bulb again, and it worked fine......and now it's busted again a few days later.
Is there something that could be causing it to blow/short? The bulb isn't black, cracked or melted ever, and the turn signal light on my car speedo just says on when it goes.

I have this same problem. Dose the bulb just stay on because tahts what mine does. I found that there is a spefic spot the bulb has to be in pushed all the way in mine will stay solid when i hit the signal but there is one spot when i wiggle the bulb that my signal works. Im prety sure its a bad socket for the light that is doing it but i think the part is $45 so ill just wiggle the bulb when it stops working
hope this helps

i remember reading that you can get the socket from autozone for like 14-15 bucks, compared to the stealership pricing. only difference is the wiring isnt color coded, but should be fairly easy to figure out..

Same issue/problem here, I notice my right turn signal not flickering today and looked at my clear corners only to find that my $10 hyper white bulb shattered!!! It rained last night and I notice the rubber around my headlight being really far back and that water had filled the turn signal. So I will go buy a new bulb and adjust the rubber when I put on my halo's. Thanks guys
