    Default Turn Signal Problems

    Sorry if this has been asked, I've tried searching before, I hope someone might have a quick answer to this. My front light turn signal has stopped flashing so when I put on the right turn signal I get the classic rapid flash. Generally that means the bulb is out, however when I turn the parking light on the bulb is clearly fine! Is there a relay of some sort I could swap?

    P.S. I'm posting because my Bentley has disappeared, not because I'm too lazy to look it up!

    i think the light has 2 filaments in it and could be that one is trashed. Arent there 2 fuses for blinkers left and right?

    Just to confirm, the front turn signal bulbs have dual filaments. Swap the bulb over from the other side if you want to double check. Use the KISS principle before messing with relays and such.

    Thanks, I didn't realize it was a dual filament (I though BMW would have engineered something far more complex). Will check and confirm!
