BMW Brake Light Malfunction Melted Connector PERMANENT FIX!

Hey guys,

I made this video primarily because I encountered a lot of people with similar problems on the BMW forums as I dug through for answers to this problem. The Brake Light Malfunction has been a regular occurrence for me with the last 4 BMW's I've owned. That is not to say they are bad cars because they are actually my favorite when it comes to both looks and performance, their brake lights just happen to be a bit sensitive! Most of the times it will just be the bulbs you have to replace, but in some cases you may have to look for a more permanent solution to increasing the life of those brake lights. If you are encountering brake lights that don't work even after you change the bulbs, or brake lights that only work intermittently, then THIS IS YOUR SOLUTION!

I am by no means an expert but this is how I completed this repair and if I can help someone else save some money than that is all that matters to me. If I did anything wrong or could've done something better, I am not offended by constructive criticism and would love to hear from you guys. The more I learn, the better.

If you already know how to remove your brake lights and you are 100% certain that this is the issue with your vehicle, the socket repair starts at 6:10.
