tail lights

the other day my tail light on the drivers side of my truck went out. so i replaced the bulb, it worked, but the next day it was out again. so i rewired everything and it did the same thing. i have now figured out that when the bulb goes out, i can take it out, put it back in and it works again, but when i turn the lights off and then back on it is out again. is the problem in the housing or is it something else.

Sounds like on of the wires going into the back of the housing is loose or has a bad connection.
