Front running/indicator housing problem.
Is it normal that the front running light & blinker work when they feel like it??
I have put in numerous new bulbs, but even then it doesn't work (Drivers side left turn)
It wasn't working when the dry weather started ( coincidence?) then after a car wash it worked?!!!!
The housing does look like it has overheated but isn't cracked & the wires are all intact.
So do l buy a new housing, & if so, where do l get one because l can't find one on Amazon?
Thanks in advance

Are the sockets burnt? That is a common issue from the bulbs overheating in the housings. Mine sockets were burnt and the running light would often flicker or go out. Replaced both sockets and what to LED replacement bulbs and problem has been solved.
