The rear LH turn signal coming on when the parking lights on is a classic
symptom
of a faulty ground on that unit.
My Haynes shows the sidemarkers as being connected to the parking lights. If
neither these nor the headlights are working then it could be a couple of
disconnections or a lot of bad grounds.
As to the brighter front LH light, that could be because both the turn and
parking bulbs are lit which would be the case with the faulty ground on the
rear
unit, but indicates a good ground on that front unit (but gioven the apparent
state of the other grounds I wouldn't count on it).
