I've got the rear lights out of my Superbee.
They have never been good,always looked dim and the bulbs were stuck in.
Anyway the bulb holders are badly corroded both inside and out and are too far gone ro clean up.

The bulb holder is crimped to the rear light unit tho........

After looking around a little i've found these.

Has anyone used this or is there a better option out there ?

So,
My bulb holders arrived yesterday.
They were not an exact fit but after a little persuasion with the die grinder they went in ok.
Tomorrow i will solder the wires together

The insides of the lights are also pretty dull. I'd like to brighten them up a little.
Any ideas anyone please?

Sandpaper and fresh paint
I guess i was wondering if anyone had used a 'chrome' type paint to give a better light

I have used it... I never have seen a REAL chromed spray can with a chromed finish, just a shinny argent/aluminium ( something like a bright/light argent with clearcoat ) even is advertised as a "chromed" paint. It works fine too. Maybe There is a better chromed finish spray can available in USA ? dunno. But anyway, just using the regular argent paint like factory did will actually work and be noticeable.
