A few days ago I posted about my drivers front turn indicator not working on my 2000 Golf. I cleaned the bulb up and it worked intermittently, so I bought a new bulb. The new bulb doesn't work any better; it works sometime and not others. The problem is in the bulb holder; one side of contacts have somehow pushed back don't fit snuggly. (though how this could have happened is beyond me) I tried to push them back, but it didn't do much. I put some solder on the old bulb and now it works fine. However I don't have a lot of confidence in this "repair"; the bulb holder should be replaced.
So...
1) Any clever way to fix this without replacing the bulb holder. 2) Any idea what a bulb hold costs? 3) Are they available anywhere except at a dealer?Thanks.
BTW; this time I was working in daylight and everything went back together much better.
