Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Repeated failures of the plastic bulb socket (gm part #12456483) on front turn signal -parking light on 1999 buick regal. the bulb, a standard 3157na, burns out in exactly the same fashion as bulbs that burn out on other gm models covered by the nhtsa safety recall is # 04v524. apparently the bulb is not securely held in place and the arcing that results burns away the plastic of the bulb and the bulb socket. the absence of a visible left turn signal is a safety issue. *jb
