Melted taillight lenses @ Brake light lamp.....91 240 200

Try flipping the brake light bulb holders[*] from the left to the
right side and vice versa. If the holders are put in on the opposite
sides, it causes the brake filaments to light up when the taillights
are supposed to be on, and the taillight filaments to light up when
you press the brakes. This results in bright taillights and brake
lights so dim as not to be visible when the taillights are on.
The brake filament being on continuously will probably melt the
reflectors as happened to you.


[*]-> by holders I mean the round things that the bulbs fit into,
not the light assemblies themselves.


Good luck,
