Never had that bulb burn out in the VX yet, but I did have to service the one in my Trooper. same light and everything. I bought a bulb, came home, popped it open, and when I was pulling the bulb out, the light came on. It apparently just vibrated to where it wasnt connected very good. When I moved it around, it contacted. So now I have a spare bulb in the glove box. Try this before you spend money on a bulb. The only lights I have replaced in 3 Troopers and 1 VX is my '88 trooper needed new headlights at around 200,000 miles. Pretty good?
