Use lead free solder...you might get better results.
There was a study that Motorola did awhile back with lead and lead-free solder, the results found that with lead solder would short out printed circuits that are printed close together. That's why I always use RoHS Lead-Free solder when working with PCBs.
Just a thought... otherwise it might just be a mismatched LED or a weak connection.

I don't think it's a solder connection, as likely as it could be, because there doesn't seem to be any correlation between bumps/jarring and the lights going out....they just simply go out, even when I'm not moving.
4 of the 5 lights go out, but I'm confident enough about my skills to KNOW that I didn't fail on 4 bulbs in a single panel when the other 5 lights in the doors work fine.
They came back on, and then went out again and remain out as of right now.....but just 4 of the 5 on the drivers door panel.
