Moisture is getting into the housing and since the socket is in the bottom of the housing guess where the moisture gathers?...right in the socket. Are the front of your housings cracked? If so, replace the housings and the sockets. If the housings are cracked and you replace just the sockets, you will have the same problem with the sockets (I know from experience). Some guys glue a piece of plexi glass on the front of the new housing to help keep rocks from cracking them.
