The right signal is probably not far behind - going to clean it as well.
Get some electrical contact cleaner and clean them thoroughly again then use dielectric grease on the contacts to keep it from happening again.

Also it wouldn't be a bad move to upgrade to LED turn signal bulbs and a hyperflash relay as you have valentis they would match perfectly

Definitely a bot, google search shows the username being created on a ton of forums around the same time 17 hours ago and posting one line comments like these.


Also seems to like things involving lighting and replies to car forums where lighting things are involved

Oh I had no doubt it was a bot. I just play a game with the "better" ones where I try to guess what the link that eventually shows up will be for.
