Hey all. A few years ago I replaced the bulb sockets with some universal sockets from parts store. Now they are coming lose and need fixing again. Is there anyplace to get factory style replacements? Thanks in advanced.

I'm assuming a 1971 dart?

Good luck on factory replacement style. they are hard to find. if your normal ones with the larger tangs that go into the socket hole and do work loose. like these

you could add a rubber sealant ring (o-ring)to the socket which will bring the tang and socket meeting point out a bit and make them tighter. it also helps keep out moisture.

Or

try these tighter ones (they are a stone ***** to get in)

yes you have to clip off one of the tangs to get it keyed to your socket but it will not come loose once you have gotten it in. them darn things are TIGHT.
