Default Changing headlight/turn signal

Not really sure which one it is. But when I put my right turn signal on it moves crazy fast, but when I have all my lights on, the right headlight doesnt work. I bought some new lights, but its alot different changing out the headlight on my 05 than it is my 01 GT. Also the right brake light always stays lit up when I'm driving, I take it this is because of the right headlight out? Thanks for the help.

Hrmm -- well the reason that your right turn signal is going fast is because it's about to burn out -- change the bulb and it'll go back to normal.

Thats the only one that I know how to fix -- the rest I have no clue... go ack to stock and see if that fixes it

HUH? I figured my turn signal was going fast because the headlight was blown? Either way how do you fix the turn signal, its not the same way as my 01 GT? What do you mean go back to stock, like change my tune on my SCT to stock?

It's either the front or rear bulbs causing it to go fast.Since you say the right brake light stays on (probably with the running lights on?) it sounds like one of the bulbs burnt out and the bulb filaments are touching. Take the tailight out and turn on the signal or make the brake light stay on like you said. Then take out one of the rear bulbs, turn the key off then on and see if the brake light is still on. If it is no longer on then that is the bad bulb. If still the same move on to the next bulb. The headlight is most likely a whole different problem and just a bulb out for that.
