| Description of the problem | I have been having to constantly replace my tail and brake lights since october of 2018. I believe there is some type of short with the sockets. One moment the lights are on, the next the are not. Or, one side is working and the next moment, the other side is not. I see this when using the fob to unlock the doors or someone tells me the lights are out. I have had to physically adjust the bulb socket for the light to come on. |
