Well buddy the only way you can figure stuff like this out is to take that handy dandy Fluke Meter and start probing around. Sounds to me like you are getting a short to ground somewhere. Check all the wiring for your headlights and see if they are coming in contact with any wires for your signal. Also check the wiring harness in the steering column for the turn signal switch. Best of luck to ya bud.

My rear brake/tail/back up light sockets were all crusty.
