Same thing happened to me. Freaking unbelieveable prices for those little units.

With no local parts cars I came up with a different solution. Use a dremel tool with a soft sanding bit.

I just polished up all the contact points around the connectors on either side of the bulb. It worked like a charm. The lamps returned to full brightness again.

I figured that by the time they corroded again it would be someone else's problem. You could add some vaseline or other preservative to the contacts to prevent further corrosion if you wanted a longer term fix.
