Yes yes, I replaced the socket 2 times already and my bulb still jumps out. First time I replaced the socket was because I melted them with blue Xenons ... second time, the bulb would just slip out on a little bump in the road, so I switched out the harness again. Now, its doing it all over again. Reminded I did replace the turn bulb everytime I changed the socket so Im clueless as to WTF is going on. I am using 3157 bulbs, and its not electrical cuz when I pull the bulb socket out of the front clear-corners, the bulb drops into it (which is why im fed up cuz i have to remove the headlight to get the bulb out) Any help or suggestions? Thanks.

my only suggestion is taking out the whole assembly and taking the bulb and playing around with it until you figure out why its loose

Mmmkay, I replaced the bulb yet again and drove around the block using the proper signal at the proper time. I pulled in my driveway, only to look inside the clearcorners to find that the glass blew right off the bulb :rofl: I put in my spare blue Eurolite Xenons and they are working A-OK right now.

Back to square one. I need to replace the socket yet again, and the bulb blew out.

good quality clears, stock bulbs, and !DRLs worked for me. i only replaced the one socket once, and bulbs like every week. mainly due to water leaking into the 2 sets of junk clears i first had.

I guess I should try re-sealing that clear corner ... that could be the problem. The blue ones lasted alot longer.

I have a pretty big break in the seal for the clear corner. This is my chance to get the smoked style lenses. Thanks for the help ppl :-D

I know exactly how it feels when you drop the stupid bulb into the lens man. I tried hooking up a amber LED bulb in mine and it didn't work and fell right into the lens. And me and my friends had such a freakin hard time putting the lenses in it's not even worth taking it out for the bulb... I'd go for the smoked lenses man...
