Electrical Problems after installing Polarg turn signals.

Well, I finally replaced my orange turn signal bulbs with Polarg bulbs and now my turn signals don't work. When I turn the headlights on, both of the arrows in the instrument cluster light up constantly. Also, my turn signals in the rear are constantly on. Is it possible that I have the wrong bulb in the front that isn't capable of a dim setting for driving and a brighter setting for the turn signals? Thanks.

I am not sure what kind of bulbs are used for CL turn signal, but I would check the bulb type & check the fuse.

Does it have single filament or 2?

I'm not sure of the exact bulb type. If it were only a single filament would that result in the symptoms I'm experiencing?

Probably. I just got two orange bulbs with my new taillights and they are two different filaments per bulb.

I had my whiteboy hold the bulbs for me while I took that picture. Damn he's pale.

If the bulb has 2 filaments inside, that's probably why!!

small filament is for the parking light and bigger filament is for signal.

you know, i purchased the same ones and one of them was fcked up. when ever i'd turn my right signal on, the blinker arrow inside the car would blink really fast and the outside bulb (the polarg) would not light up at all. i went and returned it for a new one and it still wouldn't work. funny thing is the left side was okay. i finally gave up and left the right one stock and the left one polarg. it's not that noticeable but the polarg is brighter...specially at night.
