Electrical problem
1998 Chevy Truck V8 Four Wheel Drive 156000 miles

I replaced my headlight bulbs five days ago. Now during the day when I use my blinkers, the indicators are fine, and outside their working fine. But at night-time when I turn my headlights on, automatically my right turn signal indicator comes on, and makes a horrible noise when I turn it on. Only thing is that my left turn signal still works fine whether or not my headlights are on or off. Could I have the wrong lights in, or their such a thing. My headlights work and are brighter than ever, but my turn signals are acting funny. I'm confused

Hi:
Check the wiring to the lights. It sounds like somehow a power supply shorted to the signal light.
