Rep Power: 0 well if you changed the bulbs you probably got the single filament bulbs i belive they are 7440 not 7443 like whats supposed to be in there. Single filament bulbs don't get brighter when u put on your blinker.

Rep Power: 0 i know exactly what it is, i had this same problem and for the longest time i had to flick the blinker wand by hand b/c they would just stay on....its caused by a short or a blown fuse, so check all of the wires and check all of the fuses..AND check the socket...if its black..thats a short..get a new socket...i did this and got new fuses from the dealer and they worked great from there..my socket was ok...just the fuse was blown to hell...(a short can easily be caused by touching the light bulb to another metal object..thats what happend to me)
good luck

Your going to have some kind of problems if your doing that.
If you didnt want any problems, you prolly shouldnt have cleared your headlights or changed the bulbs.

Rep Power: 0 Usually when the light just comes on and stays on, at least on the inside of the car, it means the bulb needs to be replaced. If you just messed with the things, obviously something inadvertently got messed up.

7440's will stay off until the turn signal comes on and then blink at full brightness. i have orange 7440's in my turn signals
you problem might be that your bulb isnt pushed in far enough
