Signal light woes

Left front bulb is dimmer than the right ... also got a current leak into the left indicator arrow in the cluster(it dimmly illuminates even when the signal is off). Left signal also quits when i pull the headlights on. Changed head light switch, cleaned up grounds by the drivers lens's front and back. Changed flasher as well ... Kinda suspect the cam in the steering wheel ... Anyone with any suggestions????
Also i was trying amber LED bulb in the front turn sockets, but they never blinked. put a original bulb back in one side and they both blinked ...weird stuff.

The l/f park lamp is dim & the l-t/s indicator is slightly illuminated most likely because there is a bad ground in the l/f lamp. May also have a bad fillament in the bulb.(look at bulb and make sure the fillaments (curly wires) are attached to the posts) Remove the lamp, two wires in the center are t/s &park lamp , wire to the side is the ground.I have had to wedge a tooth pick in the ground wire hole to get a park lamp to wok before.
