Weird issue with marker light...

[pudzley]

Anyone else have this problem? Nothing serious... just peculiar and slightly irritating. When I start my 04 SR5, about half the time the passenger side headlight marker light will not come on (the driver side one always does). I've replaced the bulb and messed with wiring to see if I can make it flicker and it never does. BUT, if I simply tap on the headlight with my finger... it always brings it to life! Any ideas? Here's a video to show what I'm talking about:

check the contact points of the plug and bulbs. also wiring

New bulb socket with pigtails should do the trick.

I have a similarly wierd issue. My 5th gen 4runner passenger side front marker light is off while the driver side is on, but the passenger side one will flash when i activate or deactivate the alarm. I got some new bulbs, but it seems like they would not make a difference, since the bulb seems ok.

any ideas?
