For the sockets either junkyard, or wait for someone to part out their car.


Since it's part of the chassis harness (which people rarely sell since it has nothing to do with the engine) most people won't mind cutting one off for you.


Also, both side sockets are exactly the same and are also the same as the ones for I think either the taillight or the parking light in the rear of the car so any of them will work interchangeably.

this may be a bit ghetto for your taste, but it gets the job done....

My DRL lense cracked a few months ago too, but instead of buying a new housing/lense, i just found some automotive-grade adhesive that was clear, and slapped that over the entire lense. Ever since then, i've had no problems with blown DRLs or water pooling inside them.

if you are talking about the end of the connector, where the bulb goes in, its not corrosion, its burnt, all camaros do that because the DRL's are always on and get to hot.

Water intrusion through condensation or humidity would be a reason for the corrosion. When you replace everything, try using some diaelectric grease that they sell at auto stores. It'll keep the water out and ensure a proper electric connection.
