Rear stop light bulb is constantly burning out. I change it every 3+months. The housing surrounding the specific socket appears to be slightly burned.

we have had excessisve problems with our rear lights burning out they get heated and melt the wire and bulbs.. we replaced everything on it 2x costing over $300 each time, including wiring harness and light brackets to have the same problem arise over and over again. My feelings is this should be a recall for safety reasons..

Have had to replace brake light bulbs multiple times, as well as the circuit boards. Bulb bases appear to melt somewhat.

Stop light bulbs kept burning out. Bulb bases would look melted. Replace both circuit boards (what the bulbs plug into) about $25 each and have not had a problem since.
