I will swap the lights and see what happens, I don't recall the bulb holders being warped, cracked, the fit well.. The problem comes and goes, I'll check back and report any issues

Still, if your bulb holders are original, it will happen. Techs at the dealers have replaced hundreds of them.

Hundreds of thousands in total.

What I meant is that each individual dealer tech has replaced 100+.

Just ask my neighbor.
