I recently made the dreaded mistake of throwing(losing) the light socket for one my map lights. Does anyone know where i could find a replacement? I've look everywhere and can not seem to find one. Thanks

 

Have you tried a junkyard?

 

Try www.car-part.com. Unbelievable site.

 

Thanks! I'll give it a try

Is this what you're looking for? I don't remember if the map lights make their connection on the front side of the board or the back. That would be something to check but this is the right path. Search amazon for 194 (I think) bulb twist lock ect.

 

I purchased one just like that (1/2in hole) and it was a tad too small. It seems I need a socket for a 5/8 inch hole (15mm). Definitely appreciate the help.

Heres 5/8" ones

 

I ended up ordering those 5/8'' ones and received 21 in the mail, ha. Turns out they were the same size the first ones I ordered (too small). Seems like my best bet may be the savage yard.

 

Sorry to hear that. Did you measure the one you have left? They're a pretty basic thing. Shouldn't be to hard to find the right one.

 

LMAO. recently changing my dome lights to led i noticed that the rear cab dome light also has the pockets and wiring for 2 extra light bulbs then it comes equipped with.

so basically you need 2 extra twist sockets and plug them in and you'd have even more light...

i have some extra leds already so i was like.. sure why not?
so i call the dealer trying to buy 2 of these sockets

that turned into a couple of hours ordeal where i was basically trying to make them understand these things exist.

finally i took some pictures only so i can prove i wasn't crazy...needless to say this part doesn't even exist anymore in their database....that is if it ever did....
but they would gladly sell me the whole front dome light assembly, which comes with these 2 twist sockets i imagine, for like 250 bucks or something.

so yeah .. junkyard seems the way to go on these....
