I think they flash at the same time.
PX Rear Indicators
Can you check this to be sure?
On a DC system the "headset indicator" gets its power at the same time as the others, so if the headset one was flashing at a rapid rate, I'd expect the main front ones to be doing the same.

Ok so it's an AC system.
If the headset indicator is pulsing and not actually turning off, but the front indicators flash at normal speed, when the fault exists, then I'd expect the fault to be either:
A poor connection on the red, between the relay and the junction block or poor contacts within the relay itself.
You can check the relay with a voltmeter by removing the red and measuring the voltage on the relay contact. An analogue meter would show this up best as the needle movement is easier to see. However, if the fault doesn't exist at that time it is going to appear ok!
If the relay is the plastic type you can normally unclip the plastic casing and examine/clean the contacts inside.

I had varying problems with the rear indicators on my 1980 P200e.
Ground problems.
Finally cured the problems by cleaning the finger pulled spring things which hold the fronts of the fenders/bubbles in place.
Had to clean the screws which grounded the lights to the fenders first.
