bad wires, bad plug socket, bad relay?

I've had bulbs unexplainedly burn out way too soon for no apparent reason. Had a car in the past which would consume its drivers side foglight bulb twice a year, the passenger side lasted for years without issue. I just chalked it up to electrical gremlins, LOL
Also, just noticed you're in AZ, whereabouts?

Truer words have NEVER been spoken! I can drive cross country and back again and never have a flat tire if i'm carrying a serviceable spare or two. But just running up to the local store with no spare tire or a heretofore unknown bad spare tire, and i'm nearly guaranteed a flat. It's just the way Murphy's law works I suppose.
