I would disassemble the actual connectors that the bulbs plug into, and clean all terminals that plug into that connector. Also pop the metal ring out of the connector and clean it, or hit it with some sand paper as necessary.

While doing all of this check all prong terminals while disassembled with a voltmeter. Look for fluctuations from right side readings compared to left side readings.

The connectors act funny with even the slightest amount of water getting into your housings. I had a small crack that let some moisture in, and it was causing corrosion even when using the bulb grease.

Mine are all funky up front, so a car my friend was junking, I just chopped off it's light sockets and I'll solder them inplace of my currents (don't use butt connectors).

Mine have a mind of their own. Fast blink, slooooow blink, solid-no blink lol And it has no pattern

I did find out though it was the ground on my right side, don't know what's the left's problem since that's new and it's winter so eff sitting in the cold lol
