How did I manage to kill my turn signals [280SEL]

Noticed that my front passenger parking light was out so I picked up a pair of equivilant replacement dual filimant bulbs at my local parts store. I've never had the front signals apart before so it took me a while to figure out that you just crack the cases apart. In any case I've now replaced both bulbs and both corosponding fuses [7 and 8] and even tried the old bulbs. the result is that I now have both parking lights but no emergency flashers or turn signals. If I listen carefully I can hear the flasher franticly flashing I quickly turn the switch off. Seems to me the flasher isn't 'talking' to the bulbs... but why? I tightened the 3 wire connector screws on each light base. Does anyone have the pinout for the lights for me to start trouble shooting?

Sorry for the long post, I apretiate your patience.
