Melted sockets

I had the same dilemma on my '95 9000.
I saw the clear lens and KNEW there had to be reverse lights in those marker lights. It took me some time to figure out how to remove the side markers - there's a small lever on the inside next to the headlight. Upon removal, I noticed that the reverse bulbs had melted their sockets and gravity had pulled the bulbs down. I simply twisted and jammed the bulbs back into the sockets and they worked!! This was about 18 months ago.
All I can think is that the previous owner had parked the car, ignition on, in reverse, long enough (overnight?) to melt the sockets.
Something to check!
