Ok so I take my 05 out for the first time today I turn left and my turn signal is blinking fast.So I think burnt out bulb but after checking the bulbs are fine.I look at fuses don't see any that are broken. From what I can see it looks like this one bulb is fine nice and bright the next is a little duller and the last is very dull.If I just have the DRL on it looks fine. I don't know what else to look for.

check the blinker fluid you might be low. or replace start replacing bulbs because one of them maybe about to go out. and its causing a draw somewhere.

If the bulbs are good, the next thing I'd do is clean the socket contacts AND the contacts on the wiring harness plug.

That's odd....you check all 6 bulbs on the rear and the 2 front turn signals?
I had the same issue, however it was the turn signal bulb that burnt out in the tail light.

Did you actually check the bulbs when they were flashing as a turn signal? Compare left to right.... Have seen many that thought because the tail lights work, the bulbs are fine......or change the fluid as suggested.
