05 Malibu Maxx brake lights - 9/7/2007 3:51:55 PM

I have a problem with the brake lights of my 05 Maxx. A month or so ago, the brake lights were out so I replaced them. In the process of doing so, I noticed that the LED bulbs themselves weren't bad, but were having a hard time staying properly seated in the sockets. I replaced them anyway because the new (non LED) bulbs seemed to seat properly.

Now I have the same problem, the replaced bulbs do not seat properly in the sockets. I had my wife press the brake pedal and I moved the bulb within the socket and it turned on as it should.

The replacement bulbs were the recommended replacement that I bought at Autozone.

Do I need new sockets? Has this been recalled? Should I rig it so that the bulb stays seated properly?

Thanks,

C
