It's a plug but never seen one like that used outside the car Industor. I would look at RS first, Maplin was the last I looked at.

These are often called LED sockets which is misleading. The only place I can find them is RS Components here:

When I found that some of the holders had rusted away (due to almost inevitable slight water ingress) I just replaced them all with directly soldered in LEDs of suitable colour temperature together with series resistor on each one. Should never have blown bulb again.

When mine was repaired a while ago...my mate just took the bulbs out of the holders and bent the bulb wires so that they went through the circuit board holes, secured with a dab of solder...sorted.

Gordie did you ever sort out that rear brake light hope it didn't take too long to do, I did mine in a couple of minutes with the use of one of these.
