Parking light problems

1 Attachment(s)

I bought new sockets for my parking lights, and they don't fit very well.

All I could find were these plastic sockets. They don't hold very tight in the housing, and are too loose.

I know that this is how the bulb grounds.

I have a good ground from the housing to sheet metal.

Anybody make metal sockets ?

Any suggestions?

Re: Parking light problems

best luck I've had in good fit for this kind of stuff is to buy a good condition pigtail off the parts board - either from a truck being parted out or by placing a WTB. I've had loose generic and aftermarket ones too, decided to just look for good GM originals.
