Very wierd Tail light problem

ok....i dunno how to explain this, but here goes nothing:

My left taillight as well as my left rear side light goes out everytime after i fix them.

i mean i unplug them and plug them back in and it works, but after a while they stop working.

this is pissing me off, since i got a ticket last night for no left tail light.

I don't think any wires or fuses are wrong, since the darn lights do work when i unplug and plug them back in.

there is probably somthing going on with the harness or connector. may be a loose contact or something.

No, my guess is that you are not putting them in right. Make sure the bulbs "click" when you put them in the connector. Many people are afraid to brake the all glass bulbs and don't snap them in properly. You have to hear them click as they snap in place.

BTW, go to court, bring the bulb receipts and plead stupidity in replacing bulbs. Maybe the judge will fill sorry for you...
