Turn sig / Pk Light / DTRL - burnt sockets Hey guys,
I am looking to see if any of you might know where I can get new bulb sockets / pig tails for my wifes WS6. Both front day time running lamps / turn signal / park light bulb sockets are burnt up bad. I just need to replace both of them. Any ideas, part #'s? cost? contact info? Anything will help!

I got 2 new sockets from Autozone...most parts stores should have some, it came with the socket and a 3-wire pigtail. Sorry but I can't remember the part #.

I picked mine up at Advance Auto. They were about $12 for the pair if I remenber correctly. I too don't have the p/n off the top of my head. However they have a grey base (bayonet type mount) with three wires. I did a little bit of searching here and on a couple other Fbody forums and was able to find the p/n.
My biggest expense was replacing the turn signal lens/housing. I bought them through gmpartsdirect and paid about $25 per housing (plus shipping). I had to replace my original housings as both lenses had developed a vertical crack right down the middle. That's where all the water was pouring in.
When the new lenses arrived, I took some plumbers clear epoxy and sealed the gap between the lens and the housing. It's been about a year and a half and the new lenses/wiring harness are working well and there's no water leaking into the housing.
