Hey guy's do you know where I can get x-tra sockets for the 2nd tail lights, it's the ones with the white stripe on the bottom of the light. I took it to a local shop to have it done and they said I need to get the sockets.
Any advice or help would be great. Thanks in advance for the help.

So far right now I have 4 Motormite 85802 double contacts and 2 of 4 85804 single contacts that my shop needs for my friend's install. I bought the pack of amber 1157 bulbs, 1003 bulbs, and 1004 bulbs that BabyBenz told us about, but my shop said no good they want a "2 way, double contact, high/low pin" setup bulb, which so far I haven't found any. I still haven't figured out why they won't use the 1157 ambers for the turn signals, instead they're trying to shove one of my USDM spec bulbs in there I think...might have something to do with the high/low pin configuration they're talking about. Right now the 1157 bulbs I bought have both pins along the bottom. I'm going to another store to check tomorrow. But uh yeah I believe I answered your socket question. If anyone has any idea what bulbs the shop is talking about I'd appreciate any input...

thanks guys that all i needed to get a start. i will write down the part numbers and go to pep boys today.
I don't know what that shop is trying to tell you, but you should get 1156 bulbs and sockets for the signals.Originally Posted by Rallifan
I went down to Pep Boys and they told me that the light bulb the shop wants does not come in any size smaller than the 1157's...so it doesn't exist...at least not here. Only reason I bought the 57's instead of the 56 is because the socket as I stated in another post that it was for use with 1157 bulbs...which is why I asked if the 56's can go in without any problems. I dunno...we're trying again tomorrow we'll see what happens.
