06 projectors on my 04 turn signal issue?

i just installed a set 0f 06 factory projectors on my 04 coupe but on my driver side my turn signals are messed up. sometimes that small peanut bulb which i guess is the parking light will blink instead of the turn signal but it will switch from time to time the other light is fine. also when the hids are on at night those peanut bulbs are also on. not sure if they r supposed to be and i hav no daytime running lights. wtf is up with them i thought its jus plug and play any help please

the parking light (Peanut bulb) is always on when your headlights are on. If you don't want them on, its best to take them out. I have no idea why the parking would blink instead of the turn signal...maybe take the parking light out will solve the problem. 06 headlight do not have daytime running lights (DRL's). If you want DRL's, you'll have to mod them:

that's not the problem. Canadian cars have daytime running lights in their foglights/high beam. because the power is fed to the high beam partially as a DRL, the 06s have a problem with it, also the wiring of the grounds is also an issue. Basically if you have a problem with the blinking, you will need a rewired harness to make it work again.

That's bizzare... I just got my '06 projectors installed on my '04 and I haven't noticed any problem like this.

Since those ugly yellow bulbs are going to be on, I'm going to find some sorta replacement.

I have the same issue.. I installed the 06 projectors on my 03 last weekend. The driver side turn signal works when the engines off, hazards work fine, when the HIDs are on the turn signal works. When the lights are set to Auto and it is day (HIDs off) the turn signal does not work. That is the only time. The left turn signal is pretty important. If anyone has any idea let me know please.

Thanks!
