Turn Indicators slow when head lights are on....
Last night, I was driving around enjoying the "fall like" temperature in my convertible, when I noticed that the right turn indicator did not function properly...it came on and just stayed on...indication of a burnt out bulb. The left one worked...but kinda slowly. This morning I checked the right turn indicator and it WORKED PERFECTLY...right speed (on & off). BUT when I turn my head lights on, the indicator s-l-o-w-s down a lot!...turn the head lights off and "voila" they work perfectly!!! WHY??? and what can I do to fix?????

Headlights, dash light and markers suck the life out of an electrical system. The fact that your system operates normally during the day tells me that the night light draw is too much for your system.
Have the alternator, battery and regulator checked. My bet is you find your issue somewhere in the mix.

Hi v,
I believe you'll find one of the forward lighting harness ground connections that 65GG and DUB mentions on the front side of the core support just to the right of the radiator.
Hope that solves your 'issue'!
