My front turn signals seem to be working strangely - as in the videos below, the yellow corner lights doesn't signal at all, the only light flashing is one of the lights in the fog lamp. The yellow lights do work, they come on when the lights are on as 1in the second video. 

 

Anyone seen this before? 

 

In other news, I still haven't been able to determine the correct replacement bulbs for the third brake light (coupe), apart from the 12$ ones from Porsche. Let me know if you know of an alternative! thanks

Sounds like a grounding issue. Try running an external ground and see what happens.

Bulbs for the brake light are available at Auto Zone or other places. 968 light was sourced from GM as it was also on the Corvette.

Just to resolve this for future 968 historians, I have ameliorated the turn signal problem. Turns out, in my infinite genius at some point (likely when replacing bulbs) I plugged the fog lamp into the turn signal socket and the turn signal into the fog lamp socket. On both sides! I switched them back and now all is well.

 

For the third brake light, as I think I mentioned on another thread, the only replacement bulbs that worked for me were those ordered directly from Porsche at 5$ a peice. I cleaned all the contacts by soaking the whole socket in salt/vinegar then baking soda/water and scraping the contacts with a tiny wire brush, now the third brake light shines again.
