I took the bulbs out cause my OBC said one was broken...and i didnt kno which one...After putting them back in...both dont work, but are good bulbs...the bulbs arent back in as tight as they were before, but i cant get them any tighter

I had the same problem and right before I was going to take it to a mechanic, I looked and saw the the metal prongs were not connecting right. The plastic melted a little and the prongs were down into the melted plastic. After I bent them up with a screw driver a tad, they worked just fine and not a problem since. Check the fitting the bulb rests in...Ya never know
