The light malfunctions often . The small , light gray color, electrical part that the blub snaps into question=---- Is that part sold aftermarket ? Toyota only sells the whole assembly..
I wiggle the bulb and then it,s ok. Perhaps there,s some way to make the bulb sit firmly in it.

For my 2007, it would be this part:

For other years, check at this site:

I know the part says "License plate lamp," but here's the catalog page:

Old post but I had similar reoccurring problem with that bulb failing to work so I will post for others:
I found that the bulb was seating too far into the socket. I placed a very small piece of paper into the very bottom of the socket (think thickness of a paper clip) and now for the past ~three years the bulb has worked fine without issue.
