how often do you 2003-2004 guys replace the turn signal bulbs?

[scottm]

A little over a year now, haven't replaced any bulbs since the ones I replaced when I bought it. I always run with all my lights on, perhaps regular use keeps them limber?

I'd better go check my bulbs tonight...

(by socket do you guys mean the whole signal assembly?)

No, just the socket.

^ yep, that was the socket I replaced to fix my issue.

No, just the socket.

Cool. That shouldn't be too bad.

One week after buying my 06 with 84K on it, I had to replace my passenger side front blinker. I bought a pack of two. Put the new bulb in and the NEXT day it went out. I put the other bulb from the same pack in hoping that I did not have an electrical issue going on. But I have now put almost 30k on the vehicle since and no other problems.

Visiting some old threads again. Right now I have 164k miles and I have not had to replace a turn signal bulb yet. And yes, I do use my turn signals all the time. The brake lights are a different story, I've had to replace those twice since 2005.

My 2004 front passenger side just gave up last week and have to replace them this weekend - 2nd time since I bought it (now at 123k miles)

we got our truck in 2006, two years used from the dealership and it had about 72000KM on it, and its about double that now (around 100k miles at this point) and we've changed them out once. Went for the same sylvannia bulbs that were originally in the housing, some pretty sweet bulbs!

I wasn't kidding....

Anyone have the part number for the socket.... I've got a 2003 with DRL...

I bought my '03 T4R used (second owner), and in the service history it indicates "lamp" maintenance at 53,000 kms - but I am not sure if this was for the front turn signal bulbs or not as it was done by the first owner.

I did replace the front driver's side turn signal bulb (and it operates as the daytime running light here in Canada) at 118,000 kms in 2007.

I also replaced the front passenger side turn signal bulb at 137,000 km in 2010.

Both still working at time of trade-in at 167,000 km.

Bulb # 4157NAK ; 27/8 W ; Type D
