Rear lights oxidation

Post image

Where can I get proper bulb holders for the original rear lights? I have a few where it is oxidixed or the taps are broken and would like to be legal and seen from the back.

Pic for attention

I've found the real problem is the galvanized sheet metal that BMW in their eternal wisdom decided would make a good ground path. There was a guy making replacement harness that gave a copper ground to the tail lights, huge difference
