Two things to try:
Check the flasher for the turn signals, there are two flashers, one for turn signals and one for hazards.
More importantly: Check for a bad ground or any other loose connections. A bad ground can make lights do all kinds of wierd stuff.

You need a new bulb on the right. The DRL is brighter than the normal park light that comes on when you turn on your lights. The bulb has 2 filaments, the one that makes the DRL and turn signals work is burned out. That's why the park light works but neither the DRL or turn signal does.

yeah but he said his 4 ways work fine. so both filaments in the bulb are good.

Maybe, but the solid green arrow is the indication for turn signal not working. When one side of the blinkers go out both the front and back stop working on that side. It's a bulb, and cheap. Good starting point.

To take the blinker out there is a little trap door underneath the car, just take out the 2 bolts for the door and the blinker is right there.

Back on topic now. You may need new blinker sockets, I had to replace mine a long time ago becuse they got corroded, part if the problem was that the front lens gets tiny cracks in them that water goes through, I replaced the sockets, put some clear RTV coating on the lens', and it has been good to go ever since.
