Unhappy Electrical / light bulb woes...

Well, as if my foggy front headlight isn't enough, now I'm having electrical/light bulb issues with my rear...

Occasionally my internal trunk light won't light up....

But more annoying, is the driver-side license plate peanut bulb is not working (there are two license plate bulbs...). I have been running Polarg baby blue peanut bulbs for quite some time, and now it's not working anymore. There are some char marks on the recepticle..

I've changed the bulb a few times, and wiggled the wires behind the receptible a few times, and that worked. Now, it's not working no more

Does anyone know how to fix this, and/or have encountered this?

What the hell is this gonna cost me at the dealer

Hey fuzzy, sounds like a loose wire or bad fuse. Hit me up.

I changed the peanut shaped bulbs.. I think you're talking about the ones that are in the little circles beside the turn signals.. it's bulb #168. I bought some no-name super bright ones go compliment my H4s... and they worked great! I've never had one burn out on me at all. or even flicker

I got the licence place bulbs fixed... it was the stupid bulbs themselves! I suppose the little filament in the back got loose, with all the heavy banging of my trunk lid, and then finally gave out.

Bought a set of new baby blue 168 bulbs at Station28 in PacMall, 15% off; no tax. Whoohoo!

Now I'm still having problems with the darned trunk T10 light bulb... doesn't always light up, especially if I open using the remote for the first time... weird. (I'm running a hyperwhite T10 tube bulb in there)
