Help Please...1978 242 GT needing tail-light assemblies 200 1978

Hello all, new user here hoping that the Volvo community can help me with an issue on our families' 1978 242 GT 4cyl. We have a problem with the rear tail-light assemblies, the lenses are badly cracked and broken as well as most of the contact tabs in the receptacles the bulbs insert into are badly corroded due to the moisture able to ingress into the pieces. My question is: Does anyone have, or know of where to obtain a set of the 4-square versions of the tail-lights in decent condition? And alternately if not, any suggestions or experience in options to rebuild/re-engineer the lighting assemblies backplate sections' bulb contact tabs? (the lenses are the least of my worries, getting the lighting functioning for both back tail-lights is more pressing.) Thank you for any help anyone is able to offer.
