If you still have the copper end off the wire (the nub that contacts the bottom of the bulb, you can solder it back to the wire. Otherwise jury rig a replacement nub using a clipped off male end of a butt connector and solder it to the wire.

I always remove all those crappy single bulb connectors and replaced with these sockets,
with 2 wire wedge type connector, .... much better, and more reliable.
1 source for sockets : http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/24-8812
add in some Leds, and your all set to go.
