I went to change my front parker globes and found the globe holders for the wedge T10s damaged
Having some difficulty getting new or second hand globe holders, any advice would be appreciated

Re: Globe holders front parkers NA6
head to a wrecking yard and have a look around.
Would not be shocked if they're the same as used on the 323, laser, and probably a heap of other Ford/Mazda models from the area.
Example, NB foglamps are the same as on a Mazda Tribute or Ford Escape.
Plus, grabbing bits from lasers/323 means you dont cop the "MX tax"

Alternatively you can buy new t10 bulb holders from most auto shops. For example Supercheap carry them for $8.50 each. Then you just have to join them to the old loom and maybe spot silicone them into the lens.

Tried all the auto accessory stores and a couple of wreckers. The holders appear unique. I bought these

Re: Globe holders front parkers NA6
manga may be right. But It was common for lamp makers to design their own were base bulb holders i.e. they fit into the housing but turn to lock features and thickness of housing etc may not be interchangeable. I think the bulb holder with the pig tails is good solution .

Re: Globe holders front parkers NA6
There are holders available that appear similar but are different sizes, My old ones were held on with silicon, not ideal
