02 3Series Tail Light Fix Kit.?.
Hi the tail light on my 02 325i had a short on the connector and bulb housing. I recently purchased a repair kit for this problem from the dealer and have no clue on how to wire it in to fix it. Anyone go through this before? Any pointers? Im def not paying the dealer $200 to fix this

Re: 02 3Series Tail Light Fix Kit.?.
There is a known problem with tail light wiring. The problem is with the ground wire connector, it simply can't take the current draw.
The easiest way to fix this is to reroute the ground. I spliced a new wire before the connector and ran it directly to the ground on the tail light. Bypass he connector entirely. Use a splice tap instead of tape.

I would have thought they fixed at the factory it by now.
