Hi, folks. I've been having a devil of a time getting my blinkers to work on my 76 fj40. The hazards work, but not very brightly up front; the blinkers don't work at all anywhere. I *think* I have ruled out the fuse, fuse panel, relay can, and switch. I read on line that the turn signals on the fender are supposed to be dual filament, at least for the big yellow front ones. Mine are single filament. Is it true that they are supposed to be dual filament, and that having singles could be the source of my problem?
Correct front turn signals for 76 FJ40?

Make sure you have a good body/chassis ground. Weak lights usually are from bad grounds. I usually run a ground wire from the light assembly to the frame. Clean the bulb sockets and the contact inside. A little dielectric grease will help keep them corrosion free. Make sure they are the correct bulb. You can test the bulb with a jumper wire wrapped around the bulb base and held on the neg battery terminal, place the bulb bottom - contact (one contact at a time) on the pos battery terminal - should be bright.

Never mind. It's a single filament, and I've gotten them working (sort of, with other issues).
Recently bought these OEM turn signals from city racer for my 76. After running crappy aftermarket ones for years that had several issues, I am very satisfied with these. Amazing quality and they work great.

Looks great! So does the whole rig!
Looks similar to that sold by Downey without the four horizontal center bars.Kev- Did you build the brush/bib guard? Con-Ferr?
Bottle opener is classic.
Highjack alert
I had one mounted up to the Mule for years. Still sitting on the shelf. Never noticed another one until yesterday and I’ve seen two in the last 24hrs.
Highjack over..

Probably a Downey one, no markings anywhere. It was gifted to me in the 90s in bad shape. Took a lot of work to fix as it was bent, full of holes for off road lights and a center bar was missing so I removed the other 3. Truly love this thing! Definitely a keeper, the 40 looks naked without it.
