bulb holder rust

The bulb holders on my front indicators and rear lights are a bit rusty and I wish to remove so I have clean metal and a good contact.
My question is what can I put on the clean metal to prevent them rusting again and to keep good contact?
Cheers

Not a lot you can do there to be honest. Replacing them may be only option.

The fronts are not a problem as I will replace with clear or smoked in the future, but I was hoping the rears would ave a solution as they can be expensive, I'll clean them up for MOT and keep a look out on fleabay.
Cheers anyway
