My solution to turn signal problem

I know most people know about this, but for those that don't. I drilled 3 holes into the bottom of each of the light assembly so water doesn't get caught in them and have not had a bulb problem since. I have replaced both sockets for the bulbs and it still didn't do alot until I drilled out them out. It's been about 3 months and still no problems. Hope it helps out.

Yep I just changed out both sockets, and went to drill some holes but I realized I need a longer bit to reach the lamp housing.

I just took mine out of the car, then drilled them. Cleaned em at the same time, the interior of the housing was real nasty. They're only held inplace with 2 bolts at the back of it (7mm if I remember).

It's best to go from underneath though the openings under the lamps. The AIR pump gets in the way on the driver side and caused alot of harsh language when I took them out.
