2014 Front turn signal burning out

Anyone else having any issues with front turn signals burning out excessively?

In the span of 1 year, my passenger side front turn signal has burnt out twice.

Drivers side not at all.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem, thanks.

I like to put some dielectric grease on the metal part of the bulb. The oils from your finger tips will cause them to burn out quickly.

good luck

What brand of lamps are you using? Try using a different brand such as Sylvania/Osram or Phillips.

If changing lamp brands does not work you can perform voltage and resistance checks if you're proficient in that arena. In one observed case, I created a suppressor diode circuit (alternatively known as a flyback diode) that plugged inline to the light which helped in isolating the root cause. I am not suggesting that you need to create one as well, just trying to add a little context to what might be going on.

Hope this helps. JV
