thats just corrosion on the connectors. You can clean it off with a wire brush and maybe some denatured alcohol or something. If you are looking for the actuall sockets that plugs into there and holds the bulbs, thats a junkyard part probably not kragen.

Dielectric grease those puppies after you take a soft bristle toothbrush to them.....the dielectric grease will cause a stronger conduction between the plug and the connectors.

Yes, dielectric grease is recommended.

Baking soda, water, and the soft bristle toothbrush are good.

Electrical contact cleaner spray should help too, prior to the dieletric grease. Let the eletrical contact cleaner dry off first.

hey if you look at the side with the bulbs, there are the bulb sockets, and then there is a plug that plugs into the socket. the first picture is the plug that plugs into the bulb socket. if you pull back the boot for the bulbs in the second picture, you will see the sockets you are holding in the first picture.

its the weirdest thing i have ever seen, but i just did mine the other day and i was elated that i didnt have to do any soldering to get my corners to work again. just go to honda and order the bulb socket that goes to the plug.
