contact cleaner and a small round file.-but I'd be checking bulbs first to be sure they aren't just blown

Price the can of contact cleaner first, for a one off job it is probably cheaper to just fit a new plug.

You could use some corrosion remover. Pretty expensive. Contact cleaner is not really suitable. Or replace plug and fill new plug with electrical grease. IMO that corrosion will not be the problem. If you are not getting power passing through plug then spread the pins on the male end this is a very common cause of light failure.

I have always used CRC but as bigfat said, it will be the male pins, just get a small flat head and very slightly spread them apart but not to much!
if that does not work then check the bulbs

cheers guys,
Have tested a trailer board with another car so can confirm bulbs aren't the issue - must be the male pins if not corrosion
