Is it melted?

I am currently working on mine, checked every autoparts store for it, didnt have, autozone even ordered the wrong one and didnt have the correct. GM dealer wanted 60 bucks..

I finally ended up cutting it off and taking it to a junkyard so he could match it up, thats your best bet. got it there for like 2 bucks

They're pricey in the parts catalogs. I was going to get some from Classic Industries but cleaned my old ones up a little.

Wow, 60 bucks from GM, huh? They're not melted, but they're pretty corroded since I have cracked lenses and water gets in them. I found the lens assemblies from Advance for 60.00 each but couldn't find the sockets.

I got lenses cheap on Ebay. I can't remember the seller but it was like $60 for the pair I think.

I cleaned my sockets up and never had a problem with them after changing out the housings. I was blowing bulbs every day or so before changing the housings.

Try "Standard Auto" AC Delco dealer. I got mine there @ a Houston store. they may have to order it so look thru the book with them to make sure you get the CORRECT 3 wire unit. maybe $22
But the lense housing collects too much water so I took out each one and drilled some very small holes thru it near socket but away from the socket flange to drain off xcess water!
