Dodgy spotlight connections

[clumsysparky]

Hello,

The spotlights in my bathroom both have dodgy connections. They go off and I have to jiggle the bulbs to get them to come on.

So the spotlight fittings are obviously not great. The reflectors and lenses are fine, but it's just the crappy plasticy sockets that don't make good connection with the pins of the bulbs. So my question is: has anyone found anywhere that sells replacement spotlight sockets?

The bulbs I use are the type with 2 sharp pins.
Thanks very much!

AHA! "Lampholders" was the key word - typed that into Google and found what I needed. Thanks for your help davelerave and spud1. Problem sorted.
