I just got this tail light problem on a trip two days ago. Found the lower right lamp had a bad burn mark etc. It had been getting VERY hot too - thank goodness for the CC warning me!

Cleaned it up and used a small piece of aluminium foil to decrease the contact resistance but I'm going to make a more permanent repair (to all the lamps) soon - either this wired mod. or silver solder on the contact points. I'll remove the tail light assemblies to do this, as it will make it a LOT easier to do.
