What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We replace the failed turn signal bulb, or the signal housing itself if the lens or socket is damaged, then confirm the blinker works front and rear. A signal that suddenly blinks fast is the classic sign one bulb in that circuit has died.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Turn signal blinks faster than normal
  • Signal doesn't light on one corner
  • Cracked or water-filled signal lens
  • Signal indicator on the dash flashes rapidly
If you delay

Other drivers can't tell where you're going — a common cause of intersection and lane-change accidents, and a NY inspection failure.
