And the wise men spoke and their words were full of wisdom. But the Philistine in his sloth ignored the words of the wise men and so, in the fullness of time it came to pass that his tail light carked it. And so we beseech thee: heed the words of the wise men.

The only trouble I had was that bouncing/vibration eventually broke one wire where it comes around that bracket (2nd pic). After a difficult tiny solder repair, I immobilized that area with clear silicone. You might consider doing a dab of silicone as a preventive measure.
There's a good idea !

A difficult tiny solder repair fixed it. I should have used that dab of silicon as advised in the first place. Heed the words of the wise men.

A wise man?
Can you talk to my wife for me? :lol:
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.
