[DML] Re: Tail-light circuit boards - soldering ok?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't say it couldn't be done, just that it is difficult to do it
properly. Solder is the preferred method but for many that can't even
solder at all the screws seem to be a good alternative. Of course if
you are doing it successfully than that is an option for those that
want to have you do it or they can go with the Zilla boards from Rob.
It comes down to some people are die-hard do-it-yourselfers that want
a method they can do at home, others will pay for services.
