sedan trunk light socket.

Is there somewhere to buy light sockets for our brake lights? I've got mixed answers from Honda telling me they are discontinued to body shops telling me they're standard sockets that are readily available. Yet when i've asked them to replace my melted one they just got the old one working temporarily. The plastic inside has melted keeping both prongs from contacting the bulb.

Just go get a new tail light

the part should be under ten $. Not worth replacing the tails over

I shouldve said clip off the socket from another cb, but when you said the plastic was preventing it from making contact, I thought you meant on the tail light side. So go clip off another socket.

And if it were the tail light side you would only need that one piece not like you need all four that really wouldn't make any sence.

Ya just the spring loaded piece that pushes against the bulb has shorted or something and melted one side inside the socket. Tried to stick a piece of wire in to fill the gap but no luck. That should be all i need its just finding one. I was kinda hoping someone knew of a place to go just buy one instead of going hunting. I'd rather not swap lights cuz they might not match exactly cuza discoloration if I can help it.

Do you not have a junk yard around your area? I'm guessing its the outer tail light socket harnesses right?

have you checked rockauto.com? you might be able to find the socket there

I'll check that out but no no junkyard within an hours drive for me but that is an option as well.
