Picked up a set of the T-bird tail light buckets with the OEM wiring intact and in "good" shape.
Restoring the buckets and reflective interior is easy. The wiring is another story. Does anyone have some tips on:
1. removing the sockets and somehow replacing corroded springs on the contacts? Cut and replace and reattach the contact tips? Source for the springs?
2. replacing the rubber/plastic "boots" over the end of the wire at the socket.
3. replacing the woven covering (think this needs to be done prior to adding the plug ends, but figured I'd ask anyway...)
