1999 Buick Regal front turn signals keep burning out, I believe it is from the housing that holds the bulbs. It seem like the plastic at the bottom of the bulb that snaps in to the housing sparks and burns it causing the bulbs to fail.

Regal 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,134 miles
Repeated failures of the plastic bulb socket (GM part #12456483) on front turn signal -parking light on 1999 Buick Regal. The bulb, a standard 3157na, burns out in exactly the same fashion as bulbs that burn out on other GM models covered by the NHTSA safety recall is # 04V524. Apparently the bulb is not securely held in place and the arcing that results burns away the plastic of the bulb and the bulb socket. The absence of a visible left turn signal is a safety issue.
