Yeah, that would be be me. Great discussion. I decided to go without any grease; just cleaned the fuse terminals. And just to be on the safe side I replaced the aluminum fuses with copper, thinking its a better conductor.

For clarification I didn't suggest putting grease on a dirty connection. It has to be clean. Wd40 and a wire brush works great with rusty corroded terminals. Both of my parking lights were very rusty. I soaked all the sockets in wd40 and then scrubbed them with a little wire brush.. Wiped them out with paper towels and greased the bulbs with bulb grease and everything is working great. Glad you got it figured out. :)
Cheers!
