Got it October of 99

Only 1 wire came off and I just got it re-soldered back on. I could see where it was cold soldered and hadn't completely melted to the wire. It must have shorted out against something on the driver board as the star lights up very weakly like it's not getting enough juice. The green LED glows brightly though.

The light got transferred back and forth once or twice a month, depending on road conditions. Not even a weekly ritual.
