Are you using aftermarket bulbs or the stock ones?

Also, have you changed the bulbs before?

That a standard Ford problem. I replaced the socket on the passenger side when my X was 1 year old. It looked like battery acid had corroded the wires and melted the plug. Every since I changed the socket..no problems.
