[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1451205, member: 19880"] I assume that you are aware that the 1157 combined tail/signal bulb has a right way and a wrong way of inserting? The locator pins are not the same height on both sides. It is possible (not easy) to get them the wrong way around with only one of the pins locked in a slot and the other jammed between the bulb and socket. (The two filaments are different wattages which is why the pins are not symmetrical.) Also, if they are not fully twisted into the lock point, the two solder pads on the bottom may not make proper connection with the contact points in the socket. They could even short between the contacts. Any corrosion in these sockets will really mess stuff up.
