    Hi.. i'm trying to figure out why this happened and how can I fix it. This happened with both blinkers. It has been this way for a very long time.. as long as I can remember. Seems like a defect, but I never took it in (stupid huh). Anyhow looking for some links on how to fix this. The blinkers still work so I think its just the plastic cover. But the bulbs must get too hot, maybe there are better bulbs I can buy. Here is a photo
