I never had to do this repair, but I would be inclined to try out the aluminum ones. Another thing is if these things lasted 15 years I wouldn't really have an issue replacing the set with all plastic ones again- especially since I don't drive in dark conditions very frequently- maybe in the winter months.

I just don't know if they are in any way inferior to the brass ones. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Corvette-Fie...9f469a&vxp=mtr
