Good advice about servicing electrical connectors as once they start to corrode it is a vicious circle, the more they corrode the hotter they get, the hotter they get the more they corrode................ water contains oxygen which feeds corrosion of metals, keep water away and jobs a goodun.

I had a few (good quality) LED side light bulbs fail in my Civic because the side light is in the same reflector as the headlight bulb, they basically got fried by the heat from xenon filament bulb. I have now fitted LED headlamp bulbs so hope the side light will last longer. I have fitted LED H4 headlight bulb into my AL7 single headlight, so took the chance to fit an LED wedge side light bulb a same time. The fan less philips Z-ES chipped bulbs from classiccarleds are bright and silent with a great (legal) beam pattern - I have attached photos of beam pattern from H4 LED bulbs in my wife's Honda Jazz both on garage door and on the road if anyone interested.
