Fast blinker...light out?
last night i noticed my left turn signal was blinking crazy fast. the right blinker is at normal speed. i know on most cars if the blinker stops working it means a light is out.i walked around the whole car last night and there were no lights out that i could see, so does anyone know why this is happening?

I went 2 1/2 years from the day I bought the car before I finially changed mine out.
It's simple.
Take out the rear/center backing in the trunk. All you have to do is pop off the large black circular thing at either sides, then the 4 smaller ones by the trunk latch to remove the plastic piece.
Take out the carpet/backing material, and on whichever side it is, in your case drivers side, you should have 5 nuts to remove. I think two of them are behind the side piece, but if you stretch/pull it enough, you can get to it.
The whole tail light assembly will come out, but just make sure not to lay it on the bumper and let it scratch, I have heard a few members say that it will swirl/scratch up the tail lights pretty easily.
Luckily for me, I changed it out, put a new sort of sealant on the nuts, and 2 weeks later another went out. Won't know if it was the same one till I take it back apart.
I think 5.0resto sent me faulty bulbs. 1/2 foglights, and possibly the taillight have burnt out in less than 2 months.

thanks for the good description, but if your burning bulbs that fast it sounds like you might have a leak in your lights? if moisture gets in there the bulbs will go right away, even if they are brand new. something to check out i guess
