I've gotten word from two folks with my upgrade tails, the switch seems to fail in the ON position, which of course generates much heat within the brake light area. The early tails may be able to handle it (steel bulb plate), but the late tails have a plastic socket, so they tend to get all melty.
Without being too nosy, how many brake light switch failures do E30's see?
Is this common?
I realize that several things can cause an 'always-on' condition, such as loose mounting nuts and the switch coming loose , or a foot resting on the brake pedal (autos only, no doubt), maybe other conditions such as crud internal to the switch.
Any comments - what is your experience?
