Description of the problem	My right tail light had been dim for awhile. I do remember from time to time smelling a faint electrical burn smell but didn't know where is was coming from. Finally when it went out, i pulled the lamp assembly which has what looks like a circuit board where the bulb mounts. The copper "traces" were fried. I took it to the dealership and they said "sorry, it's out of warranty, but we will be happy to sell you one". I said "no thanks, it will just fail the same way". So i took it home and repaired it properly. Now worried the other one will do the same.
