Once you fix the burn bulb, the internal clicker will be back to normal. You can get indicator bulbs anywhere that sell auto parts, even petrol station would have them.

Its a pretty standard feature on all cars. If one indicator bulb blows the others will blink quickly so as to warn you.

As far as the 'turbo clikn sound', I have no idea what you mean

Turbo clicking means really fast. I think.

Also as every one has said, once you replace the blown globe the indicators will return to normal.
The flasher unit speed in current draw dependant the less current going through them the quicker they flash.

well it is due to some "physics" thing... which involves "capacity" and "electricity"... haha, still manage to recall all of those which you learn in high school??

Well, a capacity is a mini device which is within the electric circuit. It functions like a battery which stores up electricity energy within them to a specific amount. Once their energy is stored, they are released and that causes the blinking of the side indicator.

When there is a indicator bulb not functioning, the electricity stores up in the same manner, in the same speed, but when it releases its energy for the bulb to light up, less energy is consumed cos one bulb is not consuming the energy, and hence the potential difference between the "pre" and post" blinking is less and hence it requires less time to stores up energy to the same level... and hence, it blinks faster...

Well, wonder if you guys understand this sh*tty explanation.. I know how it causes the fast blinking but maybe I've got "expressive aphasia" (medical term as not being able to express oneself)...

So...

Have a nice day ya..
