Replacing tail lights/running lights...

Our oldie but very goodie, built 8/91 is having minor issues with one tail light. The bulb receptacle on the drivers side, backup, no longer works...The connection has begun to break/disintegrate..
We want to replace that one as well as the passenger. Would you stay with the incandescent or go LED... The LED's are at least triple the price...
What can I expect for a 91/92 sold in 94? This is one sweet 5er..

    The replacement consists of the receptacle and lens... So $10 and change seems very reasonable..


    If the $10 replacement fits go with it, you can always replace the bulbs with LEDs later if you want.

    Have you looked at your local auto supply for replacement bulb sockets? This would be an inexpensive fix.
