Whenever you have light that comes on when another light is turned on, the first to look for is a bad ground.

It's not a midlife crisis, it's my second adolescence.

:iagree:  Make sure that the ground is placed on an unpainted surface

The front t/s housings ground themselves to the front valance panel.  Take a wire and run it between the t/s housings and the negative side of the battery and see if that makes a difference.

wouldn't a heavy duty flasher blink real fast without a heavy duty relay?

Ok, now that's weird. I was gonna post a topic about my Challenger. When I had it out this weekend. I noticed  almost the same thing. When I had the headlights on the right turn signal light was dim. As I gave it more gas it got brighter. And when I left off, it dimmed. :ahum:

That sounds like a charging system problem.  Check the slack on your alternator.  Should have an 1/8 inch of play
