Sometimes hard to Find. The switch is working or Front would not Work.
Research on All Vinyl Dragons & Dragon List.

The sockets used in the 49-50 Kaiser and Frazer cars, as well as the Darrins, were not well designed and corrode over time and as a result, connections are lost. Each pin in the socket is spring loaded and they lose their tension. So, while there may be voltage at the end of the line, the pin may not be making contact with the bulb itself. Adding a small bit of solder to the end of the pin to build up the surface solved that problem for me when troubleshooting issues with my 50 Kaiser.
