Leonard;

You don't go into detail about "rebuilding the rear light assemblies", so I will just mention some notes on getting the best light performance from the fixtures:

1. Minimize all potential places in the current path where voltage can occur, both on the high (power source) side, and the negative return (chassis) side. This includes installing brass base bulbs with ACZP.

2. Maximize the reflective properties of the fixture so that the light actually makes it out of the fixture.

3. Consider upgrading Brake Light Switch for RELIABLE and EARLY Brake Light function

Additional: * If installing brighter bulbs, double check that additional heat is not enough to soften (or worse, melt) lens...and if installing brighter bulb which draw more current, you should definitely also upgrade Brake Light Switch!
