Angry keep blowing my driver's side rear...

tail light out and you go to put the l/h turn signal on and it glows steadily instead of flash, put a new bulb in and it works then it blows shortly after??? What is wrong, not going to put another bulb till I find problem.

how many times has this happened and are you using a good brand bulb?I take it the bulb is not getting wet right. I would think it would pop the bulb instead of just blowing it.

just took the tail light lens off and ...

removed the bulb holder, then the bulb (which was good) and re installed it and checked it, and it works fine now????

Is the bulb actually blowing? I bet you have a socket problem instead.

the first time I noticed it...

took the tail light off and took the bulb out and it was fried, put a new one in and drove it some and then it was not working, took it apart again and looked at the bulb, expecting to see blown and it was fine, put it back in the socket and it works fine???
