Who knows what caused Hank's problem but I have experienced problems with modern bulbs and reproduction sockets on several of my vehicles. Some bulbs are not exactly the correct size - maybe just a hair too small - and they don't fit tightly in the original socket like they're supposed to.

I've also found some repop sockets to be made wrong as well causing the bulb not to fit correctly.
