New to posting, so let me know if this is no relevance. I have similar issue. My front passenger turn signal will flash with the blinker, but when I turn on the headlights, it does not remain lit. I am going to install LED bulbs, with resistors, this weekend. Will this fix my problem?

The turn signals are dual filament, sounds like one of them burnt out. New bulbs should fix it.

So I installed 1157 LED bulbs, the resistors stopped the hyperflashing, but the bulbs only light up when the blinker is on. Does this mean the bulbs I bought are only single filament and I need to look for a dual filament LED like you mentioned? I didn't see any threads on 2gen turn signal numbers.

That could be the case. Check the base on the LEDs, which do they closely resemble:

Then they should have both filaments.

I bought cheap bulbs, and one of them broke as I tried to install. I ordered new ones and I will try that out if they do not stay on. I appreciate the help.

The bulb needs to be rotated, but I can't because the pegs are offset? So when I stick the bulb in the wrong way, it blinks correctly, but it will not stay in the housing because both pegs are not engaged. Any ideas? Could the wiring be reversed

sounds like you need blinker fluid ... just go to your local auto parts store and ask for it ... if they give you a hard time tell them you are on acurazine and they know for sure thats what it is ... the resevoir is in the engine bay but onlu use the one with honda additive no synthetic !

Contact them and tell them what you are going through. They may have a different bulb for this, or your bulbs may be defective.

I also have a similar problem. My turn signals dont come on and neither does it when I use the hazards. The is no clicking either. I checked the fuse and power to the fuse and both were good. I was curious if one bulb goes out does all the lights go out? Does anyone have an electrical print for this?

Did you check the blinker relay?

I did not check the blinker relay but I took a break to get a snack and when I came back the lights were on blinking. I will check the blinker relay next time the problem comes back. Is the blinker relay the same relay that works with the hazard? I guess the hazard just puts on both blinkers as opposed to one with the blinker. Thanks.
