I was having a mysterious problem with my tail lights. The right side brake light kept burning out and the left wouldn't come on. When I turned on my headlights, the left side wouldn't come on but right side would. Finally, my rear fog lights didn't work at all. After some inspection this is what I found. First, the right side was collecting water in the lenses! I remembered a post on here about that situation. So, I drilled tiny holes on the bottom outside edge. So far, so good. Next, the PO had replaced the left side assembly, which made me wonder why they were giving me such trouble. Turns out the PCB wore thin on the connector. I managed to get them to bake a good connection.

Does anyone know how (if it is possible) to repair the PCB on the taillight assembly? Besides all that, my taillights work perfectly!! Thanks, in part, to the brickboard.
