Default passenger side front turn signal issues

ok so this is one of the first times posting on this site but recently i've ran into an issue with my front passenger turn signal. i've had to replae 4 bulbs in the past two months. is this normal? when i replace the bulb everything works fine for about 2 weeks then it goes out. doesn't make sense. i checked all the connections and nothing looks frayed or crossed. looking for ideas...thanks

You are getting water in the housing. You didn't say what f-bod it is on, but I am guessing a TA? I would just go ahead and order housings for both sides and swap them out.

I would guess water in the housing as well. check the lenses for cracks or moisture

Also clean out the connections with a q-tip

Default Turn Signal out?

Moisture collects in the lens... solution is buy a new plug (they usually burn out)... do not go to dealership, go to autozone. The plug at autozone costs about 6 dollars and at dealership costs about 60 dollars. cut the old one off and wire up new one. After new plug is wired in take out the light housing and drill small hole in the bottom of light housing so that water doesn't collect inside housing. Problem fixed!

I'll probably have to do this too I'm on my 3rd passenger side bulb since I bought the car in January.
