I finally finished off this project today, and my 'backdating' of the taillights seemed to work. I really only had to remove the bottom tab from the 'donor' driver's side taillight and mount it onto the new taillights. I cleaned all the contacts with fine steel wool, applied a bit of dielectric grease to each contact, and reassembled everything. I now have nice, crack-free factory Cibie taillights that work! I'm so tired of seeing that bulb light on the dash. And, the A/C finally works consistently, as there was some kind of a short in one of the taillights that blew the fuse every time the car was put into reverse, which is the same fuse as the A/C. Go figure.

I'll keep you posted if anything changes, but so far, so good.
