Consumer Description

TAIL LIGHT BULB SOCKET BURNT. NOTICED THAT BULB ACTS LIKE IT'S BLOWN BUT RESEATING ALLOWS IT TO FUNCTION AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. NO FUSES ARE TRIPPED WHICH IS ODD. HOWEVER THE FIRST TIME I CHECKED THIS I NOTICED THE SOCKET WAS SCORCHED YET WIRING LOOKS OK. I ASSUMED IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE BUT SINCE HAVE HEARD SAME REPORT FROM OTHERS ON THEIR TRUCKS AND CARS. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF DANGER UNTIL YOU REMOVE TAIL LIGHT TO CHECK BULB.
