Older cars used a system where they used a simple system that would pass all the current through a flasher unit. As the flasher unit got hot it would open the circuit. This flashing off and on would account for the flashing.

If you have a blown globe the current would only pass through one globe therefore halving the resistance turning the flasher on and off more often.

How can I determine if a headlight bulb is blown?

To determine if a headlight bulb is blown, visually inspect the bulb for any signs of damage or discoloration. If the filament inside the bulb is broken or appears blackened, the bulb is likely blown.
