Ok well i changed the bulb in my passenger side bumper light because the old one was no good. When i turned the headlights on the passenger bumper light did not turn on the signal light works but other than that it wont stay illuminated. Anyone experience anything like this? I looked at the harness and plug that go to the bulb and it looks good.

did you check for any green electrical corrosion on the inside of the connectors? does water get in side the housing?

I'll check today for corrosion...inside the plug? And they are the stock bulb size.

You need a bulb with 2 filaments, not one.
