I used some folded up strips of brass to make a connection on the bottom to the bulb.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK so I was doing the amberectomy oon the headlights and its been going OK.. At first I didnt get what I was trying to do, then I discovered you have to melt that box out.... I thought it was like a thin film on some sort of a shiny backing? OK... So I got it figured out and both are removed... The trouble is that one of the bulb sockets was rusted out and came apart. I tried getting one at the dealer, but they dont sell them??? I used some folded up strips of brass to make a connection on the bottom to the bulb. This too MANY trys and I even had to take the wire cap off to find the end of the wire (not attached to what was left of the connector) SO I got it to work, but i am sure this is not the best fix... I didnt take a picture as I was so excited when it finally worked i just plugged it in and put it all back together. SO the description is a light bulb socket that plugs into the bottom of the headlight assy for the blinker. It has a black and brown wire that plug into the light on the outside with a connector that is about 1/2" x 1/4" with one rounded end... WHERE can I buy one of these??? Your help is really needed.....GO TO IT! THANK YOU!
