| Description of the problem | I have a 2013 sonata and the brake light got so hot it melted the casing. When i tried to replace it the casing had swollen so large that the bulb fit back into the casing. The bulb also melted to each socket on each side of the car. I have replaced these bulbs on the right side more than 15 times and now on the left side its so swollen that i cannot put the bulb back in. This is a hazzard> |
