Faulty indicators

Indicator light flashes very fast inside car (rhs one) - whilst outside front indicator flashes on (and then nothing). From the back indicator light can be seen but flashes very fast. Took out bulb (looks fine) but replaced, and same thing happens? What else could be wrong? I hate indicating right now as an oncoming car may probably not be aware i am turning right. (hope that made sense...)

thanks in advance .....

If bulbs are all ok then it could be damp getting in to the electrics or faulty wires, When one goes fast it is because more or all the power that is split between the lights going into just one of them causing it to flash faster as not balanced out the same.
Have you checked the fuse as well as bulbs?
PS you are probably illegal so get it fixed!
Possibly a poor earth conection

Thanks guys. If its an electrics problem, then its beyond my capabilities (being a girl lol) but will check fuse (though would have thought that if fuse was gone, there would be no indicator lights at all?). I'll get out my can of wd40 and see if that helps too.
As you say woofgang, I'm bordering on being illegal so i guess my next port of call is the garage.
thanks for your answers, as i can suggest these for garage to double check!
ta!
Try puttig on your Hazards, do they all work well? the bulbs! are they the right ones? some bulbs havestop & tail lights within one bulbs sothat makes it doble contact / double filement, just check you have the right bulbs Silk.
