2000 xterra brake light keeps slipping out - 07/02/08 08:41 PM
I've been pulled over twice because of it.
2000 nissan xterra - rear brake light - anyway i can secure it - ive got the right sylvania bulb. its almost like it keeps slipping out just enought to not make contact.

Grab some big pliers and give the socket a squeeze perhaps?

you could also try a little clear silicone near the neck of the bulb where it meets the glass. A small dab around the outside of the socket would help hold the bulb in and not hinder taking it out when it needs replacing.

I had a similar problem, kept having to push it back in where it worked for a few days. Replaced it with a new bulb and haven't had an issue since (5 years ago)

You could always find the replacement socket from a junker...
