I have a little ritual I do when jumping into my e30 after firing it up. I go around tapping on the dash to get all the lights on, A/C switch, right side of cluster, the temp gauge, then every 50 miles or so my brake light indicator goes off and I have remove the tail covers and jiggle the light bulbs. So I am thinking there is some oxidation of the connectors going on pretty much everywhere. My plan is to take it apart as much as I can and clean all the connectors. My question is...Is there a product that will 1. safely clean the metal 2. is there a product I can apply to the connectors to help maintain conductivity? Some sort of ecectrogrease or something? lol.. Thanks for the help..

Use a fine brass-bristled brush for contact scrubbing, and apply silicone dielectric grease liberally upon reinstallation.sigpic

A copper brush should remove any oxidation. Rust is not a very tough substance.
There are a few electric grease products on the market, but for the life of me I cannot remember what they are.Originally posted by george gravesComment

From what I have heard the original BMW bulbs never have this problem, probably twice as much but whatever there bulbs. That said my E30 has the same afliction.Comment
