Replaced HID bulbs and now turn signal messed up

I replaced my HID bulbs and now the turn signal in the driver's side does not work...It just flashes (much faster than usual) when i turn the left blinker on. Any ideas? There is no wiring so i am not sure how i missed this up lol.

check the rear drivers side turn signal, make sure that bulb is not blown. That could make the front go super fast.

i will, but i never had any issues before. I just replaced the HID bulbs in the front because the car is 10 years old. As soon as I drove the car after the replacement, the turn signal issue happened. The HID lights work fine tho.

Ben,

Make sure both the front and rear turn signals are working. My bet is the front is burned out for some reason (maybe damaged when you switched out the HID bulb?)

thebananaman is infamous around these parts
pull the headlight and replace the signal light there as well as the tail light....you may have just jarred the bulb. or only turn right. no nascar tracks for you.
