My bulb holders are plastic with metal ground fingers where you plug it in to
the hole and if you pull both of them, they will not come on. If you touch one
of the fingers to a ground then they will light dimmly. Both and they are well
lit. I recently got tired of my flakey lights so I sanded all places where the
wires ground to the frame and took the plastic sockets apart(i.e separaged the
single metal part from teh plastic and sanded the metal parts as they had paint
on them froma previous owner paint job. This helped alot but not there yet.
Sometimes my whole parking light circuit would got out(along with the tmep
guage and volt gauge). I took the all the wires off the fuse box and discovered
yet again the remnants of a paint job on the terminals. Cleaned that and
parking lights/stop lights are now very dependable. You may not have paint on
your connections but years of mild corrosion make a big difference.
Good Luck!
