The only place i reckon you can find such sockets is probably in those car scrapyards.

Apart from scrapyards, do the normal workshops able to source these parts for us?

You can try, some shop operators may help you out.

hi bros,

 

thanks for the tips which are indeed useful...

 

super modern does carry the part, but unfortunately they only sell in a pair and not that cheap.

 

autobacs also have, but only H4 size, no other sizes available

 

in the end i found an audio/lighting shop along the flatted shop houses in ubi and bought the part and the mech changed it for me for a token fee.

 

problem solved already...

Hi Bro,

 

Can share where you got your bulb socket replacement?

 

I somehow got my socket burnt. And that was with the original bulb (7443 bulb I think) which is a wedge base glass bulb. Went to several parts shop but they only have the replacement socket for Honda/Nissan...and for Toyota, they only have the signal light socket which is 2 wire. I need the 3wire version.

 

Called up Super Modern and was shocked they quoted $20 for 1 socket. Fong Tat sells the complete wire loom with 3 sockets for $20+.... if I can't find the socket, I would go get the whole wire loom set but will need to indent in.

Hey bro, thanks. I happened to find the same item on ebay right after my last post. And actually I ordered this from ebay. But things like these.....are on economy shipping and I'm expected to wait like 1mth or so. Doesn't really feel comfortable without the left light tail light + brakelight for so long.

 

It's supposed to be a cheap item as I found similar sockets for $3.50 but was a 2wire. So I felt the $20 for a 3wire socket was a rip off. Guess I wasn't lucky enough or hardworking enough. If I have gone to the scrap yards, probably would have found it as well but just didn't have the time. I guess that's why people are selling $20.
