2005…e2….right rear light was not working. Took the spat off to take a closer look at the wiring. Well, due to mud etc it needed work. Replaced the wire harness connections to the light assembly. Then took a closer look at the assembly….if bulb is in max it works great but the slightest backing off and doesn’t work. I’m thinking the springs might be shot.
I think the replacement is Peterson V306R. Then got to thinking if there is anyway to fill the space between the bulb and the socket to get a tighter fit.
Thanks

Using the convenient search tool found in the upper right of the page I searched the archives and found Grant’s old thread on this subject.

> I’m laughing at my self. Had to “phone a Friend” Led Brake light install. Simple Right? First step take off the rear fender! Yup when your running big wheels like me you need to make sure the tail light wires are ran super close to the inner fender. If they are not run in a certain path the wheel will rub on the harness and drama will ensue. So fender is off. And on the work bench. The new lights have 3 wires. Red, Black, White A normal person would think Red is running light Black is Grou…
Yes- I tried the link provided and it still works.
