I need help once again
I need help with my back bulb socket.
example-
I have found out that the bulb socket is causing problems and not working. Is there any alternative (wiring or something similar) or aftermarket bulb socket I can buy, because finding one to buy is nearly impossible in the US. Thanks as usual Rog

LOL, has this become my own personal forum now or what??
Do you know specifically what's wrong with it? Like, something bent or corroded or broken? If it's something you can bend back into place or solder up then that's going to be your best bet to keep it stock.
Otherwise you'll have to get a generic bulb holder and Dremel out a spot for it, then solder the leads to the light board and epoxy it in there. That's probably what I would do. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to tell once the lens is on.

Could it be corrosion in the connector that plugs into the big plastic bulb holder (at least I think that's how I remember them being set up)?
Or maybe a corroded ground?
Both of those are extremely common.

Take a good look at your connector and use a paper clip or other thin wire to remove any corrosion. Then press it in good and tight and hopefully you'll have the success that I had.
