<VV> Electrical problem #2

[MarK Durham]

Randy, I had similar issues on my 62. I found ground issues at the tail
light housing to body connection through the screws and retaining plate,
and ground issues between the bulb socket and light housing.  Making all of
those grounds fresh also fixed one light being dimmer than the rest.
