Recurring Brake Light Problem 700 1989

It all, of course depends on quantity.

This may be hard to follow; The other issue is that you would have to modify the Plastic housing that the current Flex board is attached to. By adding .06" to the thickness of that housing, it screws up the Bulb holders. i.e. they don't have the thickness range to go into the plastic housing AND the newly added Hard PCB thickness.


I really haven't studied all the logistics to make this happen.

What does IPD sell their aftermarket boards for? those are easy direct replacements. I think they are Big$$.
I have a spare Rear tail light, some rainy day I should sit down with it and see what I can come up with. I wonder if I designed a .031" thick PCB if it would be more robust then the Stock Flex circuit yet be thin enough not to screw up the stock mechanics of the Bulb holders.

Do you know if the 200 and 700's have the same Flex circuit board in the tail lights? I wonder what the demand would be if I could come up with something?
