Right Tail light problem
Im having problems with the right tail light burning out... Anytime I get on the car it burns out... Which indicates a surge.. Would this have anything to do with having a low battery? I havent replaced it yet.. But I cant think of any other reason...
Sometimes the sockets (at least on the 5 series) good "bad". For what ever reason, the sockets get hot and melt a bit. It happened on my mother's car. Anyway, replace the bulbs with quality ones (Osram and Slyvania seem to work the best...).
Hope that helps.

The socket of my left front turn signal got messed up like that and it seemed to have the same effect. So yeah, check the socket.
Will do.. But I have to ask why this would make a difference?
It all boils down to electrical resistance. Even what RS and Mullet are saying . . bad sockets, old bulbs, corrosion, etc. can contribute to altering the current flow in the circuit.
