Hi, I have a problem, when I turn the indicator to the left or right, after three flashes, the indicator light starts flashing quickly, if I turn on the hazard lights, they flash as they should. Everything on the car is original, even the bulbs are still original, the car has low mileage and there is no one here in the Czech Republic who can help me with the problem. Thank you for your answer.

Turn on the left side, now get out and look at the actual lights. This normally indicates a bad bulb. Check those first.

Hi, I came across a problem. The problem is that the mud from the rear wheel gets directly from the inside onto the rear headlight and as a result the wiring from the Canbus resistors broke and that will probably be the whole problem. So, I'll install some covers there and replace the Canbuses. Thank you all.

Not stock parts then. It is not uncommon to find failures with aftermarket parts. I would go over the fronts as well and check any other additions for corrosion.
