Replace light sockets / rear fixtures?

Can the light sockets in the rear light fixtures be replaced?

If you are not concerned with keeping it original buy universal sockets on ebay. You can drill out the original hole slightly, tap in the new socket and rewire. This worked for me when the old pot-metal had been broken away and JB weld wouldn't hold very well.
New housings can cost a lot of $.......
