Oem Fog light socket switch
Passenger fog light keeps going out intermittently. Bulb works as I compared it to the driver side. The socket looks like it has slight corrosion inside it, cleaned as best as i could with electronic cleaners. Where can I find replacement oem sockets.

Advance and Autozone carry an assortment of them.
Hi.
Go to a wrecker/recycler and cut yerself a couple off ( or take the harness ).
IF oyu want high-quality new ones, get 'em from TRS: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/acc...l#.Uvd_dfvAFc8
Order a pair of 9006 females with pigtails. $5 each with known good quality.
If one is corroding, the other one is sure to follow - I'd chnage 'em both.
Remember to ALWAYS use dielectric grease in all of these connectors that are exposed.
good luck

Stock is 9140. You can safely go to a 9145 with no melting concerns.
I will not recommend a jump to 9005's since they run hot and can burn reflectors and lenses. Plus they glare like no tomorrow ( no bulb cap).
Having said that, some folks do run 'em. - '04, '05 trucks with the large fogs seem able to withstand the heat. '06 and up - bad juju. No guarantees - you've been warned, lol.
Another option: http://www.vleds.com/bulb-type/drl-f...45-1-pair.html
These run cool - have less output and are meant primarily for looks.
good luck
