could be a loose contact or the bulb gets too hot ( not stock bulb)

anyway autozone sells the connectors change it and make sure all grounds r tight

I replaced the socket again and used the original bulb that came with vehical i also used dielectric grease on all three terminals. I will see how long this will last. Thanks for your reply
