GM Truck Headlight Wiring Sockets
Found these GM sockets replacement on EBay, that fit my 1983-86 trucks ( probably other years too). They allow you to remove original headlight wires from old/broken sockets, and install original headlight wires in new sockets. Have done two sockets so far. Use a Home Depot Husky #2.0 straight screw driver, from a small screw driver set, and small hammer. Place the replacement socket w/wires in open vice, with socket on top, wires hanging down through opening. Lightly tap screw driver to release wire. The original do in truck. For me, most will not release by hand. Will post a couple of photos of process soon.
Below is the eBay listing used. Posted this thread because they allow you to replace sockets with original wire/clip. Hope this helps. GM Truck Headlight Wiring Sockets- For Low & High Sealed Beam Bulbs- 4 pcs- #044 Note: The wire is released from socket by pressing wire tab closed, photos showing tab and its location soon. IMPORTANT!——see posts below for better information on Packard part numbers and terminal connectors purchasing!! Photos: - first two show original and new replacement from this set; - third and forth the screw driver used; and - last new socket w/wires removed. Last edited by aotte1; 07-13-2024 at 11:35 AM. |
