rear tail light housing assembly
Is it possible to purchase the individual contacts, the part where each bulb fits into, rather than buying the complete housing assembly? One is rusted out and would like to replace just the one.
Thanks everyone!

Search the site. You can drill out an existing assembly and install a fine aftermarket bayonet base socket. A bit of work to save $150.

The contacts on mine are brass, and thus don't rust. Are you referring to the steel spring that's behind the brass? My turn signal had some steel item (presumably a helper spring) behind the contact that corroded into nothingness. But, with a pair of needle nose pliers, I was able to pull / bend the contact rearward (I mean towards the rear of the car, not towards the rear of the housing!) enough to get the socket functional.
Then, as I still had intermittent blinker issues, I did this: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=419391&highlight=shim+stock Which fixed it for good.
