The bulbs are dual filament.
Just because they are on with the parking lights doesnt mean they work. Turn on the hazards and see which signals dont blink. The ones that dont blink are the ones that need to be replaced. The hazards use a separate (heavier duty) flasher unit. That is why this test works. The flashers in the f-body are thermal which are affected (stop working or work faster) by lights going out.
If one side works and the other side doesnt, then the peoblem is not the flasher unit becuase both sides use the same flasher unit. If both sides dont work, then it probably is the flasher unit. They are located behind the shin panel under the steering wheel. When you pull off the panel look to the right side of that area.
Also a search would have answered your question.

i updated my post...i realized that i said left side under panel instead of right side.
The flasher relays are to the right.
Some times i need to tatoo left & right on my hands

Had same issue, the left worked fine, but the right blinker intermittently blinked, or it went on but stayed solid. Replace bulbs but also at the same time cleaned out some of the corrosion on the bulb receptacle, and now it works fine
