    Tail Light Problems

    Every time I turn on my lights at night...my passenger tail light doesn't come on. Ocassionally my driver one doesn't either. But if I pop the trunk and hit the plastic board where the connections are then they come on...sometimes stay on and sometimes don't! I'm tired of this fight with them...any one got any ideas what is wrong? All the bulbs are good!

    Re-solder all wire connections even when they look fine.

      I'm going to guess small tails? The terminals on those could be a bit better, and BMW realized it and changed them with the large tails even. That said, cleaning them, getting a pick and bending them in a little (little being the key word) will probably eliminate the problem.

        I've got a late model, so large tails! I'm gonna try checking the connections first before busting into wiring cause I suck at that stuff and dont wanna fuck up something even more lol
