Default Front turn signal - running lights

So on my 04 Heritage I noticed one of the front running lights was out. Turn signal still worked. Stopped at the local store and bought what I thought would work, 1157. Put it in, and it is much brighter than the old bulb and does not blink. Hmmm....swapped it with the other side, known good bulb, still no go, but the old bulb worked perfectly.

I guess its off to the dealer just to get a darn bulb. Just how things go for me...the simplest task can turn into 2 trips to the store easily!

I just replaced one too. I think that was the right size, but maybe you picked up a single filament bulb? You just need to make sure you get a double filament as it serves as both a running lamp and turn signal.

Yeah, it was double filament. Tried 2 different 1157's on either side. Maybe I am not getting good enough contact or something.....
