Fog Lamps
For some reason the clear fog/day lamps at the front of my 72 Series III can't stay working. What i've noticed is that the bulbs actually wiggle themselves out of the housing and lose electrical contact. i've also noticed that the bulbs appear to be awefully bright. it seems that they may be running hot and have slightly melted the white plastic housing inside. the bulbs in there are 12v 21 watt.
anyone have this issue or recommend a solution?
*UPDATE*
well i guess no one has experienced this... but i was putting the wrong bulbs in the lamp assemblies. i had normal 12V21W's in there (as supplied with the complete lamp kit by the retailer) instead of the smaller wattage #97's. the brighter bulbs melted the push/turn housing and allowing the bulbs to slip out. i now either have to get some heavy duty glue and carefully fabricate new "stops" in the bulb housings or pick up some new ones...
