    I had a 2003 4runner not too long ago and I had this issue also. I never could figure out what it was

    one thing I never did try was a new harness for the bulb. I just tried to find a short or something. maybe try that?

    Got to push the new bulb in with a lot of force, and you get a CLICK when it's in correctly. I posted about this last month when I replaced a burnt bulb only to have the new one stop working repeatedly... I just didn't push it in hard enough!
