Can you provide a picture of the led bulb you are using or a link to which led bulb you have purchased.

i have one in each side and the driver side is fine its just the passenger side that is blown which was the bulb that was blown in the first place i just thought it was strange that ive had to bulbs blown (first one was original bulb) in the passenger side within 3-4 weeks

This is the not the correct bulb for the brake lights. They are the right socket for the inner trunk tail lights for the sedan.

You need to purchase.. 7443 led bulbs for the brake lights.. 7440 for the parking lights and 3rd brake light.. and 194/921 for the inner trunk taillight parking lights.

thatd probably help haha is there a reason why the driver side still works?

Most likely, the pins are touching the correct base pins but the lights are only works when you press on the brake or when you turn on your parking lights. It is not working for both parking and brake lights. There should be a brake light sensor warning light on your cluster.

The reason why the other side keeps on going out is (A) the pins not touching the correct base connector because it is loose or (B) the pins are causing a short by touching the wrong base connector and blowing the led bulb.
