PRO TIPS
1. Ensure a Proper Ground Connection
Most tail light failures in air-cooled VWs are caused by poor grounding between the housing and the fender rather than a blown bulb. When installing your new EMPI assembly, ensure the mounting area on the fender is clean of heavy paint, undercoating, or rust where the mounting studs pass through. If you have recently painted your car, you may need to lightly scrape a small amount of paint away from the mounting holes to ensure metal-to-metal contact. If you still experience flickering or dim lights, consider running a dedicated ground wire from the bulb holder directly to a clean spot on the chassis to ensure a rock-solid electrical connection that will last for years.
2. Seal the Gasket for Weather Protection
