Those lights are on at all times.
When I switch the button for example to one side that bulb instead of flashing doesn't work and when I turn the signal button off it lights up

Poor ground - remember the fronts are dual filament, the rears are single.
The less bright one should come on when running, the bright when signaling

On several Honda models (probably including that one), the front signal has 2 elements, the dim one (running lamp, which is normally on all the time but turns OFF when you select the turn signal to that side) and the bright one (which flashes when the turn signal is selected).

It appears that the circuit which is turning the running lamp OFF when you select the turn signal to that side is working, but the turn signal itself is not.

And at this point it becomes unclear:
(1) Do NONE of the turn signal bulbs work, neither left nor right, neither front nor rear?
Or ..
(2) Is it only the left front one that doesn't work, the left rear either comes on steady or flashes quickly, and the right signals work normally?
Or ..
(3) Something else, you fill in the blanks. Be VERY CLEAR in which things work and which things don't.

Most likely cause for (2) is a burned bulb (the one that doesn't light up in bright-signal mode). Most likely cause for (1) i.e. the whole turn signal circuit is inoperative, is either a bad flasher relay or bad connections involving the flasher relay or flasher switch, or a blown fuse.

all fixed. it was a bad flasher
