WTB: OEM Tails for '01 3.0

My rear passenger side tail light has been reading out for a few weeks. The bulb is good, and I have come to find out by searching threads that it is the ground wire off the control board. There is a fix for it, that I am ready to do but can't do it to this one since it's burned right through the galv. board.

So in conclusion, I am looking for a set (because I replace nothing just one sided. I hate when one side is dulled, or faded more than the other. 2nd Pet peeve next to door dings.) both left and right. Anyone who has upgraded to LED's or other, please let me know.

save your money on the new set. go buy lead and soldering gun at radio shack for $10. fill the hole up and spread it out. it will be good as brand new. or buy conductive glue from pepboys, autozone, advance auto parts do the same thing. it works.

Thanks for the tip, I thought of solder first thing, but my father told me some neg. stories about trying to solder onto galv. metal. I've never even heard of conductive glue though, I'll look into it. Thanks.
