Subject:Re: Extra socket in tail lamps

So, 

        A friend will be in Germany and asked me if I want him to look up any vanagon parts.  He is a vanagon person.

If he found German tail light socket holders would the socket be wired up and ready to go?

Also, I didn’t ask him for anything but what should I ask for, or what would be good to get directly from Germany if a friend has a little room to bring back? 

Last year he brought a friend a German flex plate.
