Hello guys , as you can see I have a problem . This wire has lost the connection and there is no way to solder . I tried but after one second the connection fail again . What could be the solution ? I don’t want to buy a new ( made in China ) lamp holder .
Thank you all

hello Mauro, the 'sockets' on our W113 bulb holders are also used on W107s, W108s and several others. I think the easiest and most reliable fix for this problem would be to replace the positive (+) lead with one from another bulb holder. Attached is a photo of a positive lead from a W107 bulb holder and you can see its identical to the broken one on your bulb holder. You'd just need to solder/splice the new pos (+) lead. W107 bulb holders can be found on eBay and are fairly inexpensive.
I replaced a cracked bulb socket on my 230sl just this past weekend. I bought a w107 bulb holder on eBay for $25 USD and since there's 3 bulb "sockets" on a W107 bulb holder, I now have 2 extra sockets and positive (+) leads. If you weren't so far away I'd send you one (it would probably take a month for you to get it!).
If necessary, old bulb sockets can be drilled-out and replaced with sockets from w107s, w108s.

It’s possible to replace the entire socket with a new one ? I cannot find on website because I don’t know even how to search . Do you have some European link ?

Mauro, didn't mean to sound so coarse,, just let me know if you want the lead for your bulb holder and i'll gladly drop it in the mail to you.
take care, charles

It would be great if you could send it to me 😉

pm sent. Mauro just let me know your shipping address and I'll send you another bulb socket and positive lead.
