I'm not sure the TV tuner stuff will work. I just looked at a set of light housings in the basement and the contact surfaces for the pins on the sides of the barrel are aluminum. The TV stuff is formulated for brass contacts and might actually cause corrosion on aluminum. You might be able to clean the contact areas with a Dremel tool ... I haven't tried it yet. There are slots that the pins slide down, then notches that they lock into when you turn them in the socket. I would not hog out the light fixtures and put replacement sockets in from NAPA. You could try polishing the sockets with a polishing wheel on a Dremel.
