Unless you can find an automotive forum like NAPA or AutoZone...

... a good automotive electronics shop may be your only recourse...

... or check with a dealer for your make of car to see if there is a recall concerning it.

Good luck

Check behind the sofa first, and if you don't find the problem there, look under the bed.

Seriously, it could be a number of things. It could be a bad socket, a wire that keeps shorting out, or it could be moisture getting in somehow. And, bulbs do burn out. Some last for years, and others last days. Also, excessive vibration can cause it. If you have bad front shocks, or a wheel really bad out of balance, the vibration may cause the problem. Those problems may be the start of your check list to determine the cause.

i am more afraid its electrical....but what the hell a bulb is 6 bucks....i just hate changing them and then get this....i get shit for doing it...should have held the bulb with a paper towel....touching it is bad...it is hard enough with the paper towel

I had a tail light that would burn out after a good rain, from water leaking into the socket...

 

[strollingbones]

i will keep an eye on that....but that would bother other things too and the cover is/was tight...i am thinking vibration at this point...

The taller the bong the less likely the bong water will get in your mouth..My Moms is like a mini-bong....
