Random weird luck?

I had my passenger front marker light burn out yesterday. No big deal. Now today the drivers side front marker burnt out. I know bulbs burn out in pairs close to each other usually but just seemed a lil weird 24 hours apart. Thinking of changing my voltage regulator for the heck of it as I do get the flickery lights for a second at times.

Weird luck, or should I be checking into anything? Gonna check voltage at both batteries tomorrow as well as at the sockets when I put new bulbs in. Car just hit 60k miles and factory bulbs I imagine. Guess they were due.

I get paranoid and start replacing things as preventative maintenance a lot so I may be way over thinking this. Lol

Ok, got a lil weirder. The drivers side is lit up fine now and it's not throwing a malfunction for it anymore. I did notice that after starting it for the first 2-3 minutes the drivers side flickers very noticeably every few seconds. Stops after a couple minutes and this is the only bulb on the car doing it. Is the car doing some kind of self check causing this???

Sorry it's upside down, can't find how to change that.

Is the connector ( plug the bulb goes into) showing signs of corrosion or water penetration?
