Try first cleaning the bulb holder. Turn of the lights, take bulb out and spray WD40 inside bulb holder, then put bulb back in and twist it left and right then take it out. Repeat that few times and if you can reach inside with some piece of fabric or paper towel to pick up some dirt out, if not just let it dry for 30 min. before putting bulb back and turning lights on.

thanks alot for advise, just a question do you know if a dirty bulb holder can be cause of hot wires ?

Bad connection usually cause hot wires, so dirt can make it bad
