i have had the same problem with my 240 brake lights. i replaced the ground wires attaching the circuit to the chassis and it helped, sanding the bulb connections to the circuit and covering them with di-electric grease seemed to help too. one of my lights had burned itself a little pit in the circuit causing it to work intermittently, i just screwed it a little looser so it contacted newer metal on the circuit. never considered soldering a wire setup, thats an intesting idea. mine pretty much works now, though i just discovered that pit last weekend, so far so good. lots of electrical gremlins this car seems to have, lots of bad grounds and corroded wires. not bad for a 27 yr old car though.... i digress.. good luck
