Hmmmm.....strange.

I'm sure you're not touching the bulbs with ur fingers right?

Check the wiring, if that's ok, maybe the housing is dirty?

That's the only things I could think of.

It's a common problem in 96-00 4Runners, thats why in the 01-02 models, they changed the wiring harness. I have not had a problem withy my tailight bulbs going out on me.

I just replaced my left tail light today. I've replaced the right one either once or twice in the last 2.5 years.

I keep records of my maintanance and I change tail bulbs R & L about every 6 months... I see Runners (3rd gen) with burnt out tails ALL the time. So the new harness is the fix?

My mom's 91 has blown the left tail light about 6 times over the
past couple of years. The right side has never been touched. I have
always wondered if anyone else had that problem.
