Default Blinker socket, where to buy?

I can't find one anywhere, been to pep boys, napa, carquest, advanced, vatozone, etc.

This is the SOB in question... right front turn signal socket.





I believe I have my car sold, need to resolve this issue so I can close the deal.

Thanks in advance.

They have them at Autozone, Oreillys, etc for less than $20
If you look them up in the stores computer they won't be the correct p/n but if you match them up with thats on their shelves they will work just fine.

I got a pair from autozone and work just as OE but hell of a lot less in price. I think on the package it will say GM stop lamp socket but it is the exact same and takes a 3157K bulb as the OE corner lamp socket does.

None of the local stores between Daytona and Longwood had anything. I wasted 3 hours of my day looking, and every place I stopped acted like I was looking for some rare part. Oh well, it has already shipped and is a GM part... live and learn.

I swear I used to have one in my box. I got it in the HELP section at one of them. I looked and I must have used it on the GTA.....

I would have hunted LKQ in Daytona till I found one I could have used.... Speaking of... I enjoy yard hunting. Wish I could find an av like mine with 243 heads for a song! lol

I just did mine 3 weeks ago....both sockets including butt connectors and bulbs.....around $20.00 total. The sockets are $5.99 each and they are very good quality. PepBoys and Advance have them as well as AZ.

Likewise I've done mine. Id suggest putting electrical grease (same thing u put around spark plugs so it doesnt corrode. they are known to corrode quickly due to poor design. I got mine at autozone also, along with bulbs.

Well before I replace the sockets I need to replace the cracked housing they go in so water doesnt get in.

Actually does anyone know of how I can do some kind of bypass for the front turn signals? I was thinking of pulling them out and doing some kind of air vent to the brakes but I still want the rear turn signals to work. Anyone know how?

They are regular GM taillight sockets. All autostores have them. Dont be like toyota and trust a computer(lol) to tell you whether is on a wall or not when you can do it the old fashion way and look.

Does anyone have an answer about my question about bypassing the turn signals with some kind of resistor?
