Directional light problem-1960

[Nicholas L.]

The left front directional light on my 1960 works fine. When I turn on the right front directional light, the bulb has a dim blink and the left front bulb blinks at the same time with the same dim blink. Any suggestions as to what to check. Thanks.

Remove the lens on the right side lamp and check for the bulb being installed mis-indexed (difficult to do with the staggered pins, but still possible), and check for corroded contacts or a broken fiber carrier in the socket.

Sounds like your directional circuit is feeding the parking lights; the parking lights are wired together. Is one of your parking lights much brighter than the other? If yes, you may have the wires crossed.

The socket was corroded. Ordered new parking lamp.
