The tail light holders consist of a metal circuit grid press-fit into a plastic carrier. Over time, the holes that retain the metal "pegs" of the grid lose their grip, allowing the grid to push away from the carrier, weakening contact with the bulbs. I had this problem a couple of years ago with my 2001, where my brake lights would go out. I reseated the grid, but when i inserted the bulb, it just pulled away again.
I ended up putting a dab of epoxy in the holes, and its been fine since.
