Default Front blinker dims when reving???

I have an 07 softail Custom FXSTC. The left front blinker works and when at a stop light the marker light is bright. Once I start going the light dims almost to where no light at all but the blinker works fine.

Thoughts?????

Being that it is only one light dimming I would check the wire for the marker light on the turn signal and see if you are getting a good or intermittent connection to power, seems like an intermittent connection because of vibrations will dim it. Start with the bulb though, filament may be the culprit.
