Rear Tail Light Wire Breaks
For the third time, the red wire on the left side tail light socket has broken off right at the solder point. It has to be vibration. Any one have this problem and find a good solution?
Also, the first two times this happened I still had a right side tail light, but not this time, and the wires are firmly attached on the right side. I still have brake lights and signals work on both side.
Is this a possible precursor to an impending condition that I should fix sooner rather than when doom and disaster fall upon me?

yep stock taillight. I'm guess I'll reattach it one more time and tape the wires to the socket to keep them from vibrating so much.

I thought about a new harness, but when I bought the bike it had a taillight integrator that incorporates the signals with the brake lights. There's a rat's nest of wires that I'll tidy up over the winter, solder the connections and get rid of the clam shell type connectors.
