Consumer Description

THE PASSENGER REAR RIGHT BRAKE/TAIL BULB WENT OUT, WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB I FOUND THAT THE SOCKET WAS BURNED, VERY DARK BROWN SPLOTCHY AREAS, AND HAD A DISTINCTIVE ODOR. I CHECKED THE LEFT, DRIVER SIDE AND FOUND THAT THE SOCKET ON THAT BRAKE/TAIL LIGHT WAS ALSO TURNING BROWN AT THE PIN SITE. IT CONCERNS ME THAT I AM FINDING THIS ISSUE TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AROUND THE INTERNET.
