Heck yeah. Doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to just take the
internals of a trailer tailight and install the bulb holder from that into
the GC taillight assembly.

You 'can' buy replacement pigtails that you can put in. I used them in
all my light fixtures when I rebuilt my CJ7. They are inexpensive
unfortunately, I would have preferred higher quality parts, but 5 years
later they all are still working.
