k from what ive read..if i turn the left signal on and it sticks and i go outside of the car and see that the rear left light is solid lit (not blinking) and on the same side the front signal (daytime running light) is out..then all i need to do is simply replace the front bulb and everything will be good. sound right?
i need a drivers side front DRL/signal lense and bulb..is the bulb number 4157NAK? get lense from dealership?

Go to any parts store and you can get the bulb.
As far as the lens, if it's just got a hairline crack in it, you can use some clear caulk for a ghetto fix. If it's demolished, then replace it.

This is the cheapest I know of. Don't go to the dealer....

I also have a "Sticky" signal. Mine is the right side. However, it is intermittant. I have checked all the bulbs and cleaned all connections thoroughly. This has been going on for a few months. I figure if a bulb was going bad, it would have by now. I even replaced the bulbs anyway becuase some of the nipple connections were concave around the socket connections. It seems that if I play with the turn signal lever, I can some times get it to blink. The turn signal switch is new. The 4-ways work. I'm not sure where to look here. Any ideas?

Of course when I finally fixed mine, I never bothered to post what the problem was... Sorry!
It was a while ago when it happened to me but I'm pretty sure (99%) that I had a loose socket in one of my rear lights. I figured it out by turning on the turn signal and wiggling the bulbs around until it worked. What was happening was that I was getting an intermittent connection to the second filament in the bulb making the signal work/not work. I replaced the socket (with an advance autoparts off the shelf part) and haven't had a problem since. A good way to test if you simply have a burnt out bulb, turn on the four ways and look to see which one is not blinking.
