Stereo & Electronics - Light bulb goo

I went to replace my front parking/signal light bulbs and notice this goo between the bulb and the socket. I don't know how else to discribe it other than "goo". I'm assuming it is there to protect the contacts from the elements.

Does anyone know what it is called and where I could get it. Unless of course there shouldn't be any goo in there. :)

Thanks.

Dielectric Grease.
Its there to protect the contacts from corrosion.
You can buy a tube or a couple small packets at the register.

Awesome, thanks!

Dielectric grease is aweome. My passenger side bulb wasnt making contact with the socket anymore, and the dielectric grease helped resolve the problem until i get a new socket in.

How did it work? Dielectric grease doesn't conduct electricity - it creates a nice shield against elements to prevent corrosion.

Unless I misread your statement.

im guessing he means it hold's the bulb in place so it makes contact ????
