Paging Andrew -- I recall you saying something about this but can't find the thread.



I have "repaired" my brake lights three or four times now, and they always work for a few months and then stop working (it's the side brake lights in particular).



If you buy the Mercedes bulb holder/wiring set (I forget the part number, but it's that MB part that you can use in this application) will it solve the problem of the bad connection at the rear bulb holder? The steel plates that provide the connection to the bulb holder are just too mangled, and too much of the plastic that holds them in has disintegrated. I don't want to keep messing around with it, I'm about to spend $400 on a new taillight housing.
