97 Lesabre headlight / turn signal problem

ok this is a 2 part question...

first sometimes my left headlight goes out at times. I can usually just lightly hit it on top of the light cover and it comes on every time. Yea I know i am living on borrowed time with this :) I havent checked the wires yet because just visual inpection they looked ok

second... I lost my left turn signal action a few days ago.
I replaced the bulb today, light works ok but no blinking
i checked the fuse but it was ok

any help ,,,cool things
is it the switch in the steering whell column ?? i hope not:uhoh:

Check your emergency flashers to check the integrity of the wiring and bulbs, if all works most likely the signal switch. Sorry forgot RATS read all the screen.

Replace the headlight bulb first, that should take care of that! The hazard & turn signals have separate flashers, so if all bulbs check ok and before you condemn the turn signal switch, replace the flasher, or exchange the two.

ok i will replace the headlight bulb tommorow..
i was thinking for a secord that the 2 problems was related

ill look into the flashers tommorow if it doesnt snow :)
