You may cure it by going back to a stock/Putco configuration, which is not a bad idea in any case.
Hey guys sorry for the delay.... So it's not the ballast. My buddy and I were talking and thought we had it figured out with out doing anything.

So the issue was the hazard switch on the steering column. I clicked in and out a few times and poof. Back to normal. Easy as that

Go to www.cruiser54.com and view Tip 3. There's a lighting connector that's usually trashed.

Not sute jow long you have owned the jeep but this is something common if you haveva car that at one time was flooded and the contacts and connections may now be getting oxidized. Also you may want to see if thr bottom of your windshield is leaking. Can cause same problems and if mot gone to far a lot easier to fix. Good Luck

So I started up the jeep a few nights ago, turned on my headlights and my right blinker light was illuminated. First thoughts were I have a burnt out bulb or a bad socket. Then I went to check. Turned the right blinker on and my low beams tail lights and left blinkers are all going when the left blinker is on.
When my headlights and running lights are off and the right blinker is engaged the clock cig lighter light and another light all flash with the blinker. Also all the bulbs are good.
I haven't had time to mess with anything yet so I'm hoping to get some feed back by the time I'm off work today. Thanks everyone!
