[V8] Brake Light Warning

[Andy Schor]

After replacing *all* of the brake bulbs (including the little ones in the 
CHMSL), cleaning the circuit boards in the taillights, and STILL getting the 
beeping upon pedal application, I swapped in a circuit panel from an old 
5000 parts car and walla`...fixed.  There was no evidence of water seeping 
into the fixture, maybe it was coincidence.
