Default problem with blinkers

heres the deal
my front parking lights come on but the blinker doesnt work in the front. the back blinkers work but they blink faster then normal. what could be the cause for the front blinkers not to work.

You have a burnt out bulb, replaced the ones that are not flashing.

It flashes faster then normal because the total resistence in the circuit is lower, causing more current to pass throught the turn signal flasher. The turn signal flasher is mechanical device that when heated (current passing) cause the contacts to open, thats what gives you the flashing of the lights.

Do those come with or without the blinker rings?
