Default Is the junkyard the only place to find this part?

I need a new bulb sucket because the prongs on mine either broke off or rusted off. Theres nothing there anymore to contact the bulb. I had no luck at the parts store. Any have an idea where to find one other than the junkyard? Thanks.

You can also get new prongs to crimp to the wires. They come out of the socket just like any other connector in the car. If you are interested in doing that, the part numbers are in this catalog: http://delphi.com/pdf/contact/brochu...balCatalog.pdf (Section 6) The part number for the terminals are 12124471 and 12124598. The diagram I have says the hot wire is a 18 ga. wire (part 12124471) and the ground is a 20 ga. wire. (part 12124598) I like to get this stuff from Mouser Electronics.

BTW - You may want to check the outer lens for cracks. You may have some water getting in and causing the corrosion.

^It was cracked when I bought the car years ago and I have replaced the lens. Guess thats what it was.
