Turn signals work fine until....

I turn my headlights on. Then the left indicator is illuminated, and none of the bulbs are. I don't have any burned out fuses, and as far as I can tell (through hazards and the like) none of my bulbs are burned out, except for maybe a brake bulb in the top deck of the hatch, I just haven't gotten a friend to hit the brake while I was outside. The right indicator and blinker lights work fine, but the left.... Not so much. When the hazards are on, all of the lights work, but when I use the turn signal, they blink VERY SLOWLY, if they come on at all. I replaced the flasher unit, no dice. I replaced the hazard unit (same part, was cheap) no dice. The only thing I could think of is a bad ground, or a corroded bulb, and the first option of that I am in no mood to go search for.

Oh! I forgot! If I pull the tail fuse from the fuse panel, everything works normally. But it's not burned out. :/

Figured out what it was. My low beam filament for the front left turn signal was out. So when I turned the blinkers or the hazards on, it flashed, but it was out with the headlights on. Also, one of my high stop lights was burned out, and I need to get to radio shack to buy one more bulb for it.
