Description
The tail lamps are a crucial part of your vehicles lighting system, as they are used to help other drivers see your vehicle at night.
If your tail lamps have stopped working, but the bulbs are still good, tracking down the problem can be a nightmare. One of the common causes of tail lamp failure is a worn or corroded tail lamp bulb holder.
The tail lamp sockets are located inside of the tail lamp bulb holders and are used to supply power to the bulbs when you activate the headlights. Over the years, these sockets can become corroded and have too much resistance to send enough power to the bulbs. Once this happens, the bulb holders must be replaced.
If you are replacing your tail lamp bulb holders, it is recommended that you replace the bulbs as well since they will most likely be frozen to the sockets due to corrosion.
