Shared parts with other makes?

Hi Playmates.

I'm having issues with my rear lamp holders - the fragile contacts are hanging together by the proverbial thread!
I got to thinking...the dealers are long gone and parts availability seems to be scarce, would we (SAAB owners) possibly be able to scavenge parts like these holders from other makes? If not, it would mean that SAAB ancilliaries are unique and we're all in trouble.

I was wondering if I could be lucky and perhaps we share lamp holders with say, Vectra / Astra models?
Just thinking that allegedly we have links to Vauxhall in one way shape or form....

Any ideas / help would be most welcome.

Phil.

Ebay is a good source along with the EPC for the part numbers.

A lot of engine parts running gear and suspension etc are common to other GM vehicles (Vectra/signum/astra etc)
although the plastics and externals arent for obvious reasons.

I have some of those connectors in the garage due to replacing the rear quarter lights as they are prone to water ingress.
PM me if interested...they wont be expensive.
