Default Parking light problem

On my 86 vette.. the side yellow parking light just barely glows but doesn't light up on either side and it makes my turn signal indicator on my dash stay lit. If i remove the bulbs.. the turn indicators on dash go out.

The turn signals themselves work correctly.. and even flash on the dash when they're on.

The bulbs are new.. and ive swapped them with other known good bulbs, and they light up bright as they should with the turnsignal.. just not with parking light??

TomP. is right, check grounding. Also check interior of bulb socket for corrosion.
