Am I trying to fix something that isn't broke?

My car failed inspection (like it always does) for a couple lights being out.

One is the rear side light. I pulled the bulb assembly out and there was no bulb in it (go figure). I replaced it, and now both sides light up when the lights are turned on, but NEITHER side blinks for the turn signal.

My question thus becomes: is this light SUPPOSED to blink?

If so, what do I look at next? The fuses check out....

Thanks.
