I could tell which was the offending bulb by letting someone step on the brake and operate the signals while watching from the front and then the back. In the front the turn and parking filaments are usually shared by one bulb. Check out this info before going to additional expense when only a bulb may be the problem

thankx for the info man, i was stressing going to the dealership and having them rape me for something little like this, i'll give it a try this weekend, and see if you're right. i already changed the bulbs in the back but it still didn't work........so , i'll do the fronts tomorrow. btw, what's that little black box attached to the left taillight?
