Hey Guys,

from searching the forum, this seems to be a common problem. Yes, my tail light socket contact has corroded away. Does anyone have a used harness or socket they could sell. The socket in question is the black one.

Or is there any replacement socket that would work. I read one post about Pep Boys maybe carrying, but I didn't see any confirmation.

Thanks in advance

If you don't need the dual filament (Brake/Marker) you may need to find the equivalent single filament version (marker only) for the villager - I'd assume it has one...

OR worst case use a dual filament bulb and connect to the marker terminal only... hardly any difference in bulb costs.

I recently put some Sockets and a Harness on ebay, search " 928 S4 Harness "

The outer 2 of 4 rear bulb sockets on a pals S4 died due to corrosion of the spring loaded +12V contact: lacking any fresh sockets, and with his Safety inspection due, I soldered a pigtail to fresh bulbs and fed the ends through the back of the socket to be soldered into the harness. With a dab of silicon to seal .... these bulbs should last another 15 years - or until he finds some sockets , whichever comes first.

Thanks for the help. I am going to try Borland's conversion. I also bought blitz928 harness on E-bay. Just in case and as a backup..
