I replaced my front right/DRL directional today on my 2011 Tacoma The bulb base was melted on both sides R/L bulb!!!???? I replaced them in pairs as recommended Sylvania #4157NALLBP2 at Advanced Auto. Will watch them. Anyone heard of this? I saw issues with the outer lense melting from the factory.

Yes 2011, Thank you. The outer lense housing OK, only the bulb base socket melted. Very strange. Thanks
