Original bulb holders for the rear lights on MK1 VW Caddy are not the best design for lasting long, as they are plastic with metal contacts.

This is a upgrade that uses cheap full metal bulb holders for the combined brake/rear light (BAY15D) and blinker/reverse bulbs (BA15S)

Holder for brake/tail light: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-1157-BAY15D-LED-Light-Lamp-Bulb-Socket-Holder-With-Wire-Connector/153966734883?hash=item23d921ee23:g:rRYAAOSwRn5dEvdo

Holder for turn signal and reverse light: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1156-BA15s-LED-Light-Bulb-Socket-Holder-With-Wire-Connector-for-Car-Truck-OL/383860631190?hash=item595fe06696:g:26AAAOSwluVf2dBg

Tried searching for existing similar design and new commercial ones, but such ones were not found. Only original wiring looms with holders can be found for ridiculous prices.

Print in ABS, since PLA cant handle the heat lamp produces (and sunlight during summer)
