Thank you for the information.
Looking at the Minor lights it does look possible to replace the bulb holders. But at the moment I have not found a source of the bulb holders. I will continue to look and if I get a result will post on here.

Thing is the bulb holders look like there sealed to unit, I thought they would have pushed out somehow.
So in the past would owners have to buy the whole unit?

Re: Removing bulb holders from the rear light unit?
Let's turn this around.
Why do you want to take the bulb holders out?
Is this just a curiosity question or have you got a problem?
My car is the earlier lights, so no personal experience of this particular unit, but I feel there is no reason to remove the holder, it's metal so should be OK.
It might be possible to adapt a regular bulb holder to make a repair, but what's the actual problem you're trying to fix?
