Some of the parts suppliers eg vehicle Wiring product, Autosparks, etc have bulb holders which may be useful.

I have identified the issue is down to the bulb mount which is a plastic plug and twist fixing but these parts seem to be very rare particularly in good condition. The indicator lenses seem to be easy to obtain but more often than not do not have the bulb mount included. I have found that the problem is actually down to corrosion of contacts within the moulding. I have successfully “fixed” three bulb holders now by using a Dremel with a cutting disk to remove A small piece of the plastic where the plastic is adjacent to the internal contact. The contact is actually made by the feed wire being pushed in from the rear and sliding against the metal strip that goes up the bulb location. The Wire has an end on it preventing the wire being pulled out from the rear. Having cut away the plastic, the wire can be removed and a new wire soldered onto the cleaned metal strip. I have also found a part that could be used to get out of trouble but it is not a perfect replacement fit on Ebay. Replacement Bulb Holder Connector PY21W Indicator Turn Sigal Light BAU15S 581 ( 332007381360 ) This part is slightly smaller in diameter and has 4 location tags rather that the Fiesta 3. By cutting one of the tags off a reasonable fixing can be made.
