Bulbs
Well, this may be irrelevant to your situation, but my rear bulbs were going out. I looked closely at them and they were melted at the tip. Apparently the previous owner had gone a little overboard with the dielectric grease and the connection was getting too hot and was melting the softer metal on the tip of the bulb.

They are the only 2 rear lights on my 48. They both have 2 filaments one filament for the brake lights and turn signals and the other for the tail lights. Everything is nice and tight.

Happened to me twice.
The solution is simple:
When I bought them last year I paid only $65, I am surprised they are so expensive now.
