Default XJ8 Rear light housing issue

Howdy fellas,
Can anyone guide me to the best place to pick up a second hand rear
light cluster grey plastic bulb holder....that mounts at the rear of the light housing in the boot.
This is for the right hand side.
I had an issue with a blown bulb, brake/tail, replaced bulb and got the brake OK but can't get the tail; light working.
Tested all the usual suspects, everything OK....11.64 volts right up to the plug....I suspect there is a break
some where on that silly bloody lighting arrangement so, have decided to replace it....any advice greatly received..

I see your in Tasmania...but there are a number of part outs here in the US in the Marketplace.
Never hurts to check...

Hello Sandurz....I'm located in Tasmania Australia.
Will you separate the grey bulb holders that fit to rear of light assemblies?

Well chaps, after much trawling I have decided to go with a replacement part
from: autoreserve.co.uk.....4.50GBP plus 5.60GBP postage and will be here in 6 days ;o))
Since Covid-19 set in, buying stuff from the US has sky rocketed with postage and freight
being anything up to twice the value of the item....sad but that's the way it is.
Thank you gents for the offers ;o)
