Burning Brakes
Replace all of them while you're in there, not just the burned out one(s).

I have no clue. I just melted the solder on the back of the board where the wires for the bulbs go, pulled the bulb out, reamed the hole with a straight pin so the new wires could go through, inserted bulbs, re-soldered, and clipped the excess wire.

It went slowly at first, until I remembered what you said about the straight pin. Clearing those little holes was what took the most time. I tried solder wick and a solder sucker but reaming them with a straight pin worked best. I replaced all 14 and they're all working. They make a lot of heat though.
