'67 front parking/turn light bulb socket

Mine keeps losing its connection. Can just the socket be replaced? Or do you need the whole housing?

YI havent looked into that spicific light but you can probably just replace the inner contacts portion of the socket, its a little fiber disk with 2 electrical contacts with pig tails and a spring, usually they are avalable at an auto parts store sitting on a rack.

Another option is to try and push the wires thru from the back side maybe using a little lube to get it going, then see if you can pull it out far enough to reach the spring and try and stretch it a little then feed it back in.

I bought a socket at oreilly's for like 2 bucks. Its on the row with the fuses and bulbs. There's tabs on the socket that you just bend over the housing works great now.
