I just finished repairing mine. I pulled it this morning, soldered the pins and it still didn't work. I didn't notice any cracks around the resistors and i thought it was a lost cause but I figured before I junked it I would reflow the larger resistors just to be sure. That must have been the problem because now it's working great. While I was reassembling it I noticed the plastic lens was pretty scratched up and had something on that just would come off so I got out the Mothers headlight restore and polished it up. Wow, what a difference. The plastic is super clear now and it literally looks brand new. Mothers is some good #^&*. Thanks for the great write up!
