Do not swap taillight sockets from side to side, as they are not the same.

I removed both taillights from our '88 744 because of strange stoplight behavior, and found both sides to be damaged by heat.

After careful examination, I found that the sockets were not contacting the circuit boards properly, and were shorting out, melting the body of the tailight lenses.

I had swapped them to check for a bad bulb.

After I returned the sockets to their proper places and cleaned the contacts, the lights worked fine.

BTW - My sockets were different colored plaastic.
