Scratch that.. got out the ole trusty snapon test lite and it says...
Socket is bad.. a couple of months old.. already DOOMED...
FYI to any DD T/As... Use good quality Male to Female electrical connectors.. I have the feeling im going to be going threw quite a few of these... GAYNESS

Here in a about an hour i'm about to replace my passenger side low beam for the second time in 6 months. Don't know what happened or that it even burned out again. Got pulled over at two thirty in the morning by a cop and he told me. Asked me for licence and reg. and where i was going and once he figured out i just got off work and wasn't a drunk he told me to get it fixed before i could even find my papers.
But anyways don't know why i'm replacing this thing for the second time when i just did it.

IM FRIKIN PISSED
Woke up early.. after staying up till 7 to work on my DRLS(in the morning) I woke up around 130 to go to town and buy some new sockets.. EVERYWHERE WAS OUT... but every store had round dual bases connectors.. so I got a couple of them.. LEDs are more availible for them so I thought I would give them a try and see if they blow out less.. maybe just maybe they are better than the blade type.. I will find out and post a couple of weeks down the road after driving and testing them...
This type BTW
