Default Can anyone recommend better turn signal socket replacements? 98 TA

I have been having nothing but issues with the stock sockets on my TA. I constantly have to clean them to get the contacts to work properly. At this point I want to just replace them with new ones and would like to get something other than stock that doesn't require any customizing of the wiring. Thanks

This shouldn't happen that often. Maybe you have some micro cracks in your lenses that are letting moisture in? If you press on the lens faces with your finger, that should expose any cracks.

Or they may be like mine and you just need new housings.

I blew 2 bulbs in under a year, and when I say blew, I'm talking the glass of the bulb was shattered, before I found out why, It was pretty obvious once I took the housing off the car.
