my right side DRL/signal light socket went bad today and nothing I tried fixed it. I went through 2 aftermarket sockets before I found one that was made properly. The first one I wired up before checking and the bulb would not lock in place, I could spin the bulb in the socket and the second I tested before wiring it up and the bulb turned in that that one as well . So when you go to get the socket I suggest bringing a bulb with you to test so you don't have to run back to the store like I did.
Thanks for the report. Sadly its pretty common for aftermarket replacement parts to be not quite right.
