Default driving lights/blinker

85 s10 v6 2.8
My right side driving lights won't work. They will blink with the blinker turned on but won't stay on. My right blinker indicator light comes on when the head lights are on. I checked bulbs, fuses, and for pinched/exsposed wires. I also used a testing light on the right side and it lights up, but not for the left side? The top light next to the headlights will work very dim but as soon as I put a light in the bottom it turns it off. I will also add that the right blinker, blinks slow and both lights blink at the same time in the front vs. The other side blinking one then the other. Anybody have any other suggestions?

So all the lights work at one point or another?

If not, I'm guessing one of them is burnt out or you have LED's in there and don't know about it.

Most cars detect if the lights are burnt out by detecting the resistance or something (they have resistor kits for LED's to correct this problem)

So either one of the bulbs is burnt out (even the parking lights will do it) or you have LED's.

I just put LED's in the bottom parking lights and now both blinker lights permanently stay on when I turn the parking or headlights on.

All the turn signals still work, even the LED's in the bottom parking lights

Do you have a picture of the front end, and can you get to the lights yourself?

Would also like you to confirm that each bulb actually works one way or another.
