Default Is it the bulb or the switch?

Got a fast blinking right turn signal. My front right DRL is out. When I turn on the lights it will work. When it is off, the DRL and the turn signal won't light up.

Is there something about the bulb or do I have a bigger issue?

TIA

You have a burned out bulb. I had the same problem 2 weeks ago and fixed it by replacing the bulb. Good luck.

Thanks! Any idea what model this guy is? Can I get it at a NAPA or do I have to pay through the nose at a dealership or is their another vehicle that uses the same bulb but at a lower price in case I have to go to the dealer

Repalcement bulb by sylvania is 4157 NALL, the upgrade bulb is 4157 AST. No idea what the difference is between the two bulbs. Good luck.

Sylvania lists it as a 4157NA on their web site but when I went to Autozone they did not have that part # and they listed a 3157NA as the part. I threw that in last night and it works fine.
