Consumer Description

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULB BURNS OUT FREQUENTLY. IT ALSO WILL WORK ONE DAY AND SUDDENLY STOP WORKING THE NEXT DAY, THEN WORK AGAIN LATER WITHOUT HAVING DONE ANY INTERVENTION AT ALL. IF I WIGGLE THE BULB JUST RIGHT WITHIN THE SOCKET, I CAN GET IT TO WORK. SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS RUNNING INTO A POTHOLE CAN MAKE THE BULB UNIT WORK OR CEASE WORKING. *TR
