Taillight bulb socket replacement as most are corroded

I have a 2007 Gulfstream B Touring Cruiser and due to a very crappy design on the part of Gulfstream, most if not all of the taillight bulb sockets are corroded due to salt, dirt....I cannot find a replacement sockets anywhere. Heck, I'd even replace the entire assembly if I have to. Gulfstream is no help and I am counting on you guys for some guidance. Without brake lights, I am dead in my tracks.
Thanks

  • I saw a yoochoob of that rig, likely the same as yours. The light assembly seems to be a custom, at least fitted into the molded rear fiberglass.

    If you can remove the assembly, I would see if the actual sockets can be taken apart. Replacements might be located at a truck parts supplier or by taking apart another assembly.
  • Call Gulfstream and get make and model of the taillight assembly used.
    If possible post photo of complete unit.
    Could be a generic from Bargman or Peterson.
    Look for the numbers on the lens and post them.
