No, I can't remember if it's the same one every time or not. I understand if the voltage distribution (or something) is uneven, the overpowered light will keep kicking the bucket. Help me, kind community.

Also, you're not special because you can rhyme.

Please tell us what an "NA" is supposed to be. A Nash Ambassador?

I'm assuming Miata problem yeah?

Have you checked voltage at the offending socket? have you compared the voltage to the other socket? The relay might be failing as the youngest your car can be is 16. Maybe just say fuck it and switch to LED's and get the flasher module.

So you recomend the post but no reply? Seriously man what is your voltage and resistance at the sockets? there is your fucking issue go check your relay and your wiring and compare voltage and resistance of either side and then come back for more help if not just keep spending the $3 for bulbs. . . . This is the starting point of your problem so come back with some feedback and not just the equivalent of a stupid "like" button so you can get your shit fixed.

Yes I am a little drunk but that doesn't stop me from chastising you for just fucking "liking" a post and not responding.

My next guess was to be Nissan Altima. I could not think of any other cars associated to NA. And what does "NA" mean?

Jeez, man, this is the #1 Miata fansite and you didn't think of the NA Miata immediately?

First generation Miata: NA

Second Generation Miata: NB

Third generation Miata: NC

It's part of the VIN.

What is the #1 Miata fansite you mentioned? All I see is a post of OPPO titled "My NA has killed 3 tail lights in a month", with the author not informing us what model car or any other information. Who on earth would know what he was referring to? And besides, OPPO is a car enthusiast's fan site for all cars, not just Miatas.

I was joking, and D is a regular here so I guess he just expected people to remember that he has a Miata.
