Hi,

If the housings are so corroded you can;t get a ground, I'd clean them.

Since the bulbs for the rear lights are 1156 / 1157, which is the universal standard it seems, you should be able to rig up new sockets and a ground easily enough.

Let us know how it goes, and post some pics of this corrosion, maybe they'll be an insight into the problem.
