Default 98 T/A DRL Housing/Socket

Hey! My daytime running light housings are full of moisture and keep blowing bulbs and the sockets seem pretty corroded too. I am looking to purchase both housings and both sockets. I seen on WS6 project store that you can buy the housings for $36.99 and the sockets for $41.99. That seems a bit steep to me, especially for the the sockets. Anyone have any suggestions or a place that I could order all of this? I'm located in Canada too so shipping/duty taxes is an issue.
Thanks!

The sockets you can get at autozone or almost any parts store, I think I payed $7 or so. I bought new housings off ebay for around $60 shipped and ever since then I haven't had any more issues with bulbs burning out or my drl's not working.

the sockets are the same as your taillights i got 2 from a savage yard for $4.

the housing can easily be fixed with aquarium silicon. there are two different textures for reflection in the plastic lenses. the section in the center (.75" wide) right in front of the bulb separates from the rest of the lens just fill with silicon and nobody can tell. unless u just want all new

I just found them this morning. $12 plus $5 shipping

Socket can be had at autozone for $7. Get some extra wire loom while your at it, so you can make the wires longer for easier replacement.
