Need a rear light bulb holder for 2013 estate.

[dr_mat]

Hi all,
Anyone know if the light bulb holder assembly (non-LED) for the 2013 mk7 estate is available separately or does it only come with a whole new light cluster?
We are showing a fault on the right rear brake/side light and on inspection we have the same charring and melted plastics around the bulb mount that we've seen previously on the left hand side. The difference this time is we're outside warranty .. ! lol
I can't see a part number on the bulb holder anywhere.

Brilliant, thanks! I couldn't find a number embossed on the part but maybe I obviously didn't look hard enough .. the heat of it arcing has caused the plastics around the mount to go brittle too. Definitely needs to be replaced. I guess I'll call the dealer on Monday. Anyone else seen this? Our car was one of the first mk7 estates so I do wonder if ours was just a pre production part.

Aha, found it.

They seem to be available on eBay for £27. And the dealers don't have stock, but they are available to order in a couple of days for about £24 all in.

Thanks @golfdave.
