You can get a refit kit from eBay, search for bizzy Lizzy on eBay ��

Hi Ron.
The above will make no difference if the light lugs are broken

1

2

3

Then you need to repair them

4

5

6

7

And use new fixing that will never need changing again.
8

9

10

Use stainless steel screws to fix light later after repair.

Ron they will still work on the pimple heads, but may need a little work with a 5mm drill bit and some vaseline, they go brittle quick so opening them a little makes them last longer

I bought the ebay kit, although I haven't used it yet, as I still need to remove the remains of one screw. The plastic sockets have been redesigned, apparently.

When I did the other side, I bought some sockets from X-part. I had read about using a 5mm drill to open them up, but when I measured the ball on the lamp, it was less than 5mm, so I didn't. What I did do was drill a 1.5mm hole at the base of each slot. I'm hoping that will reduce the possibility of it cracking.
