Rear bulb Socket replacement?

[xjware]

I have a broken tab on my rear turn signal socket. Anyone ever fixed or replaced one of these or know where to get a replacement without buying a whole new light set.



Thanks!

Did buy a universal replacement socket for my back up light at Advance Auto several years ago. You remove the existing socket & the replacement has small metal tabs that you bend back to hold it in place.

You can even get them from WallyWorld:

If you can source another light fixture locally, try this:

My issue was corrosion in a part of the old socket I could not reach. Helps to have an assistant with small hands...and a jeweler's pliers!

If you want to replace it with an original type bulb holder then surf eBay for a NOS taillight from an oddball Fiat, like a 128 or 131. These usually sell cheap and make great donors for bulb sockets.

Troy, it might be that there is a similar one in my parts Lancia????

I was just thinking that earlier Dave!

I found a cheap replacement on ebay and swapped out the sockets! Work great now!
