Issue Fixed: Tail light
Had posted a while back about an issue with one of the bulbs in one of my tail lights. Basically one of the bulbs was not working. Took out one from other side and put in and it didn't work. Left alone until yesterday and tried again. This time I went and bought new bulbs. I did notice the old bulb had a corroded wire (3157). The socket appeared fine. But I took some sand paper and ran it down inside. Put some bulb grease on the bulb and plugged it in and it worked. Took some clear sealant and went around the edge of the light fixture after I screwed it back on. Apparently over time, some water was able to get down into it and corrode the bulb. Gonna do the same thing for the other side (sealant).
