Passenger side blinker

My passenger side blinker keeps blowing the bulb after about 2 days or so. When I say blowing thats what I mean, the bulb is shattered. I thought it was a short, but the fuse is fine and the side marker bulb on that side works fine, any help would be appreciated, electrical stuff is not my forte.

If the bulb is exploding, that's usually because water is getting into your light assembly. Look for a crack in the plastic that might be letting water in? If there is one, use some epoxy, seal it up, and dry out the inside. Also make sure the light socket is sealing properly.

You can get at it from under the bumper cover John.

Real easy. Like said above you can get to it from below.

You may also want to replace the socket gaskets. If its happening that often you probably have a crack in the lens. You could just be missing a gasket though.
