Default Front Signal Lights?

I recently replaced my front signal lights and had no trouble installing them but run into one problem. I have the left one working no problem but I right one, the light stays on all the time. I have tried different combos with the wires, but still the same result. Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you replaced them with original ones or after market ones? I read somewhere on this forum that some types require a resistor in the circuits. I think LED indicators are the type? It could be a lazy relay so try substituting yours for a mate's. Also do both front and back lights stay on on the side that doesn't flash? Make sure both indicator bulbs are the same wattage as well. Usually they are 21watts. The circuit is a fairly simple one being a switch, power to the switch and out to and through the relay and then onto the indicators, so not a lot to go wrong except for bad connections or faulty relay. Let us know how you get on?

Thanks for the advice! I am having problems with my rear light too, lol! They are after market ones but the left one works fine and the right one doesn't. I will let you know what I figure out when I take a look at it this weekend.
Thanks

Turned out the wires were crossed inside the aftermarket light itself. Thanks for the advice.

I was getting pretty mad, but I'm on the road now.
