Default Where can I get bulb socket seals?

Does anyone know where I can get new bulb socket seals? The black washer seal thats on the socket.. I would like to replace some of the seals on the signal lamps because I got some new lamps and they are letting in a little bit of moisture/water and I believe it's not the lamps they are good quality and I checked the sealing on them before I put them on and it seems good plus the seals on the sockets are old and smushed thin already and I can tell they aren't on very tight and snug. Anybody know what I can do? Do I need to just buy new sockets or can I just get replaceable seals, I did a search for the seals but no luck :/

Just buy a piece of foam and cut to the correct size and shape.

You can look up the part numbers in the Delphi Connectors catalog and order the seals from Mouser.

If you have water in the housings they are most likely cracked. Press your finger on the front of the housings and that should expose the cracking.
