Had these problems/solutions. Except the grasshopper. However, I think
the metal tabs on the tail light sockets loose some of their spring
power over time from heat, age, ?, and they make a poor connection on
the bulbs. This leads to more heat which leads to less spring which
leads to more . . . .
Anyone found a replacement socket of better design than the old that
will fit inside the lens?
