Left Front Directional Bulb
My friend's '01 Keeps blowing the left front directional bulb. Does anyone knows if this some sort of generic C5 problem, or a matter of sorting out wiring for some sort of short? Theres also a battery drain problem going on, and my friend thinks they are related. Thanks for any comments.

It melts to the point to where it ruptures completely through, allowing moisture / water penetration to drop onto the bulb... causing the bulb/bulbs to blow frequently.
There have been many posts/threads in this regards & different means to properly address the problems.

Yep....what they said!!
Mine pretty much blows the left bulb once a year. Each time I replace it I find moisture in the housing.
I just picked up some used, undamaged lights from a Forum member and will be swapping them out soon. I am expecting that this will fix my problem.
Good luck!!

After washing the car, have him check and see if any moisture appears in the housing. If so, that's probably your culprit.
