Consumer Description

LAMP SOCKETS FOR BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS BURNT OUT AT 5 YEARS, 2 MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. IF ONE SIDE WENT OUT I'D CALL IT A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. BOTH SIDES,...SEEMS MORE LIKE AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM. ONLY THE CONTACT FOR THE BRAKE SIDE OF THE 2057 LAMP WAS MELTED AND RECESSED. THE TAIL LAMP SIDE OF THE SOCKET IS STILL CLEAN. PUT IN A GM REPLACEMENT SOCKET WHICH LOOKS BETTER MADE THAN THE OEM. JUST GLAD THE WIFE DID NOT GET REAR-ENDED. HUNG ONTO THE OLD SOCKETS JUST IN CASE SOMEONE MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT THEM. LOTS OF TAILGATERS IN MY STATE, SO BRAKE LIGHTS ARE IMPORTANT HERE.
