They were going out whithin a couple of days. I would clean the bulb contacts and the socket contacts and they would go out again in a few days. You are not going to believe how I solved it. I got to thinking the contacts need to be coated with something to stop the corrosion. Something that was conductive. Then I saw a tube of diaper ointment that contained zinc. Zinc is conductive and the diaper ointment solved my problem. The lights are staying on now.
