Anyone successfully restored the tail light buckets/housing for 68-69 GTO? I have my original set in good shape except the light sockets are rusted pretty bad. Is there a way to clean them up or is it best to replace them. Original wiring is all there and in good shape so I would like to keep all original including the sockets if possible. If I need to replace what is best type/brand of socket to use and how do they install in fiberglass housing? Are OEM style metal sockets available? How do you get the old ones out without trashing the buckets?

I know this must be a common problem since the buckets are not reproduced - that I know of. Love to hear about some successful restos. Tips and photos would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
