    Default Replacing Brae Light Holders?

    Howdy all,
    I have one brakelight that isn't as bright as the other... I'm still all legal at this point with the 3rd light but I checked it out today anyway. Globes seem fine but the holders are shot to bits... to the point I wrapped them up in electrical tape before I put them back in place... I don't even know how one of the globes had stayed in place.

    Anyway, I want to replace these holders... but I was wondering how much I needed to get? Do I have to replace the whole loom from where it joins the body in the boot, or can these clips be bought on their own and I could just cut/solder/heatshrink and throw some ones on. I'm hesitant to just rip some out at a wreckers because chances are they'll be shoddy too.

    Soooo... how does holden sell the clips, and how much am I looking at?

    Ta

    Oh and might not reply for a day or two... about to head down to the goldy... but I will be checking up.

    Knowing Holden, they will probably only sell the whole loom.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Yeah I figured that may be the case Annoying too because it looks hard to get the fitting through the little rubber grommet in the boot. May actually be easier to replace just the socket lol.

    Though I guess I was planning on doing all of them... loom may work out better in the long run...

    Just did the smart thing and email local holden spare parts :P will post back for future reference...
