where it hits the lamp housing. Mine had no rust, but I hit it with a Dremel wire brush and cleaned up the mating surface. Then I made sure the spring clips were actually doing what they are supposed to--putting pressure on the bulb to ensure the ground contact is made. Then the light worked.
I think these are a Bosch design (same grounding system) and it doesn't take much corrosion or less pressure from the spring clips to stop a light from working. Had the same problem repeatedly in a Scirocco with Bosch fogs.
Give me Hella lamps any day.
