Title: Tail Lights
Post by: mswyka on February 23, 2015, 07:12:42 PM

We have a couple of sleds that are having problems keeping the tail lamps lit.  I am interested to know any clever ideas for either keeping the stock lamp holders working properly or upgrading them to be more reliable.

What is failing?  The bulbs?

Tom, the bulbs are fine.  They just don't make good contact.

Good suggestion.  I will take a look for those.

Tom:  Good call on the pigtail.  $2.99 from AutoZone and we are back in business.
