Default Melted rear Reg light

Hi all,
My Rear reg lights on my x350 have pretty much melted the housing around them. The bulbs work when I move them around a bit but then only intermittently. The actual socket the bulb plugs into is badly corroded and needs replacing.
Can anyone tell me what do I need to order and from where (ideally in the uk)
Any help appreciated.
Cheers.
Joe

Have a look here for part numbers and then a bit of googling...

Thanks for this. But that just seems to be the cover for the bulb. I have both of those. It's the part, whatever the bulb actually sits into that I need. It doesn't appear to be on the diagram woox4 sent either. It all seems to be just the housing :/

The only other part is the housing that the number plate lamps assembly's sit in I think the part you need is the part I have give you a link to it comes as a complete unit with the bulb holder

And look to replace with LEDS. The bulbs and resistance causes heat and melting.
