Expert Reply:
If your turn signal is not working but the other lights are, it could mean a replacement bulb is needed, though to verify you will want to test the light with Circuit Tester # PTW2979.
If the signals are getting through you will need a new bulb, otherwise it could be the wiring or a replacement light is needed. If you do need a replacement oval tail light you will want to get one that has the same or similar measurements, and that mounts the same. For example the 7-9/16" long x 3-5/16" tall x 3/4" thick surface mount Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL78RB or recess mount Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL72RB.
I have added links to video reviews as well as a link to our selection of oval tail lights for you to check out if you do need a new one.
