Friends at the Brick Board:

Now that you've provided me with the diagnosis of my driveline center support bearing noise, I'd like to get some coaching on how best to deal with my passenger side tail light issue. Sometime back there must have been a short and there was some damage to the Tali Light connector. I can tell that the whole tail light set up is an Achilles's heel for the 240's, and I see that some intrepid people have gone ahead and hard-wired things. That's more than I want to bite off, so I'm looking for replacement parts. The plastic pieces that used to hold the connector onto the circuit assembly have also broken, so I think I need both the tail light assembly and that plastic connector. A place called EEuroparts offers an 8-pin Genuine Volv0 949543 part for $1.74. Is that the right part? And for the taillight assembly- Are the aftermarket parts for about $85 OK or do I need to go for the $250 OEM assembly? I'll appreciate any other tips that anyone might have about dealing with this pesky issue.
