My fix for the rear tail-light issue

[wpoll]

I had considered doing something similar to what dazzasgotav8 (Darryl?) has done above, soldering tails onto the contacts of the bulb holders, but then soldering the other ends to the appropriate metal back-plane locations.

The only concern I had was around the ease of changing lamps - it could get messy with wires (tails) everywhere. dazzasgotav8's solution above deals to that nicely!

thanks wpoll and its Darren so close LOL , I'm convinced the lights are the brightest they have been since I've had the car.

I have removed a metal bracket from one of my spare tail light assemblies. I only have 4 connections. How do I determine which contacts go to which bulbs?

Edit: I think I have figured it out. The far right pin visits all three bulbs- Gotta be GND.

glad you've figured it out just remember to trim the tracks so you have plenty to do the bend and solder the wire on , happy my little fix is helping others out.
