Installed a stock headlight need info

I just installed a stock front right head light the whole assembley on my c230 98 benz. And one thing i found out is that when i turn on my right signal light it flashses so fast, if i keep it that way i'll be replacing 20 of them bulps in a year. so is there an way to slow the flashes down?

You have the wrong turn signal bulb in place. The bulbs are different when the white turn signal lenses came out (in 98 I think) Check the turn signal bulb, it's either burnt out or the wrong type.

Check the turn signal bulb on the left side and see what the wattage is. Use that one as an example and get one just like it. Before you do anything, turn both signals on and walk around your car and make sure you don't have a burnt out bulb.
