DEPO headlight problem

Hello.

I sucessfully installed (plugged and attached) my right head light. upon testing the running, low, high beam and the turn signal i encountered a problem. My turn signal does not work and on the inside of my car when i have it on, it flashes/clicks (on the dash) at a normal speed for about 3-4 seconds then flashes/clicks much faster until i turned it off... is there anything i may be doing wrong?

i connected the following...
two small connectors on rear near turn signal
the lightbulb (which the black clip needed to be swapped for the depo one cuz stcok black ring didnt fit)
the screw and two bolts
the snap in peg.


any ideas as to what may be going on??
any input would help.
***MODS this may need to be moved to another section....***
thank you!

the increased blinking speed is just a safety feature that lets you know the turn signal is not working correctly..... so flip your signal on and go see if it's working.

Hello, I turned the car on, attempted the 4-way emergency light, turned my turn signal on and no flashing, yet when i re-installed my stock headlight it worked fine..

is there turn signal bulbs not included with the headlights?

no bulbs are included with the depo headlights... i'm assuming you mean the black ones, right?

put your old bulbs in the new lights and you should be okay.

Exactly, the head lamps come with no bulbs bud... Take the bulb/harness from the stock lamps, and put'um into the new one. These aren't Cedias are they?

The Lancer Depo headlamps come with their own bulbs? That's news...
