I plan on getting my tail lamp housings re-plated but would like to get the bulb socket re plated as well since its showing its age, and they would stick out next to the re-plated tail lamp housings. My question is there any way to remove the socket from the wire without cutting the wire its the original wiring and has never been cut or spliced. I really want to get bulb socket re-plated but also really don't want to cut the wires. Does anyone know of any tricks to remove the socket from the wiring. Or is there any thing I could buy and re-plate the socket at home that would give it the correct finish. I've used JAX Chemical to add patina to home projects. I don't know if there is anything like that to re-plate the sockets. Attaching pictures of what I'm talking about.
