OnlyMopar Posted October 13 Report Posted October 13 Trying to locate a source for small dash bulb sockets. Need 3, one for each direction indicator, and one for the high beam indicator. They are for a 1947 Dodge Custom. I have searched using every search word I can think of, any help would be appreciated Quote
Dave72dt Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 Have you tried searching by the bulb number? Quote
DJK Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 check Dorman products, I used a 5/8" socket for the dash lites on my 52 Cranbrook. Quote
soth122003 Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 Why are changing the sockets? If it is because the wiring is bad, you should be able to push the old base out of the socket and solder a new wire to it. I was just wondering because that seems to be what you pic shows. Joe Lee Quote

Joe Lee Yes, wiring shoot, and spring/washers shoot also, and not maintaining contact with the bulb. Quote
JBNeal Posted October 14 Report Posted October 14 I have rehab'd these original sockets with aftermarket sockets by swapping out the spring and lead...it's economical and quick turnaround time for something that no one will see, and I get the best of both worlds by using the original socket that is of heavier duty construction than the new ones. 1 Quote
Solution OnlyMopar Posted October 15 Author Solution Report Posted October 15 Thanks to all that provided input to my light socket question. I was able to order new sockets for dash cluster from AutoZone. Quote
