Default side marker lights went out...

hello,

the side marker lights on my 2009 4 door rubi have gone out. I have replaced the stock side and front marker lights with the "GORECON" LED lights almost a year ago and they stopped working the other day. I went out and pulled the plug and found theplastic connector from the LEDs and the black plug that the LEDs connect to, to gucked up with green pasty stuff...

After attempting to clean all that green crap out/off the lights still wont work...

I called GORECON and it is out of warranty...no dice...

the front lights are fine...its just the side markers.

my question is, can i get just the black plastic piece that connects the bulb to the grey wiring harness and wires???? Also the connector from the GORECON LED lights have been gucked up as well (after trying to clean the connector the wires that fold over the plastic connector have been moved/frayed) will this be a problem???

help...

I changed one of my bulbs last week. The bulb should just pull straight out of the socket... no special technique required. If yours is stuck in there, I'm not sure what to recommend...
