^^^ if they are led take it out and turn it around the wore connector may be backwards to work, mu switchback led bulbs did that too

If not i believe stock bulbs are dual filiment so maybe one burnt out? Try another bulb

I'd start with replacing the turn signal stock... That'd most likely fix the problem with it not locking.

Then I'd check the bulb and the plugs going to the headlight assembly to make sure none of the wires get broken/pulled out of sockets during installation. Maybe reuse your stock wire harness (not the one that came with projector headlights)?
