93 p/u headlight and turn signal issue.

Hey all, i am pleased to announce that i have just recently purchased my first Toyota pickup. Its a 93 4x4 with approximately 180k. It made the long drive from NY back to VA but along the way i noticed some electrical issues (first drive with it at night). First thing is that the headlights don't work but the brights do. Also, the rear blinkers blink rapidly and the front blinkers don't flash at all but my hazard lights and running lights still work. I have checked all fuses and bulbs. My electrical knowledge is probably a 6 out of 10 so id like to fix these issues myself if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Well, your front bulbs are the two-resistor type. Meaning the same bulb does both high and low beam. The low-beam part of the bulb could be bad.

A rapid-blinking turn signal means ONE of said side is burnt out. If, for example, you put on your left-signal, and it starts blinking rapidly, check which one works and which one doesnt. Then, replace the bad one. This is a way of letting the driver know that there's a bad turn signal.
