Has anyone bought sharktooth turn signal pigtails from Classic? They are horrible! I've played with the springs and and tried different bulbs. The bulbs just don't fit right and it's like there is no tension on the contacts. You never know if they are on. This could be a problem if someone doesn't see your turn signals. Problem is the bought the grill assembly in December but just installed it about a month ago. I emailed Classic, I'll see what they say.
 
I just bought a pair of pigtails for a 72 and a 73 dart. All seemed fine on these. Maybe they had a bad batch.
 
I had bulbs from Auto zone that were smaller in diameter than the bulbs I bought at NAPA. I had the same problem. Try other bulbs
 
I was able to find the sockets that fit the grill at my local auto parts store in their electrical section. I just had to add the plug off my messed up ones. Hope Classic makes it right though or you get lucky on the bulbs.

Hello Joe,

We became aware of your post here, and have checked our stock of pigtails for fitment of the standard 1157A bulb and the bulb fits well, and we could find no issues with the part that we tested.
The 1157A bulb will only go in one direction due to the offset pins on the metal base of the bulb.
Make sure that you have a dual filament S8 bulb (preferably an 1157A) with offset pins (Indexed).
If you are still having trouble, we can certainly work with you to resolve any issue you may be having.

Just an update. I tried both Sylvania and NAPA 1157A bulbs, no good still a loose sloppy fit. So I sent Classic a video of me just touching the wires going into the sockets and watching the lights blink. I was called today and they shipped out new sockets today and I should have them be Wednesday.
