w164 side marker keeps blowing bulbs
Have replaced the driver side parking marker 3 times in a month, any ideas?

Moisture causing a short? Try putting a dessicant bag inside the headlight assembly when you are not driving the car, like overnight. In my case the bulb only fails when its cold and wet. I chalk it up to a German design quirk...

Good call. It seem the bulb isn't burned out but is either shorting per your suggestion or its possible corrosion in the plug. I'll have to take a look. Thanks!
