Tail light wiring connection help

I have a Kuryakyn led laydown tail light and the 'running light' function stopped working. The brake light function still works. I disconnected the light thinking that the plug-in part just vibrated loose. Turns out the wire that's connected to the circuit board vibrated loose from the rubbery "glue" that connects it to the circuit board.

I bought the light from Ebay so I can't send it back to Kuryakyn for repair. Is it possible to remove the "glue" and reconnect it? If so, how without damaging the board? And what would I use to reattach it? My electrical knowledge is on par with replacing batteries in the tv remote. [&:]

Thanks for the help!

Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. Both the blue and red wires have gotten disconnected.
BTW, it's an LED light.

It looks like the soldiered connections at the ends of the wires broke off... If you know which wires went where, you may be able to re-soldier them. If you're not comfortable doing the soldiering yourself, maybe you can find an electronic supply place nearby that could either do it or recommend someone...
