Default Source for front turn signal socket

while changing out a burnt out front turn signal, two of the ears on the socket broke off.
It looks as though the socket got overheated ( brown vs. white color) and became brittle.

Does any one know if i can buy just the socket or do I need to buy a harness?

If just a socket is available what is the best source? part number?

I tried finding the parts on-line, but the part number in my shop manual ( 12160394 Park/turn signal 3 way lamp socket wedge base W3 right angle (NAT)... does not seem to be valid.

Thanks Bill...
I usually try to avoid the Corvette tax and the Stealership. Thanks for two tips that should significantly reduce my search time.

Hmmm,
I tried both Autozone who said they had no catalogue and couldn't help and then Advance who found me a GP Sorenson pigtail GM #6102 picture, but said they couldn't get it.

Any other ideas or parts numbers?
JDMVette, what is that brand and part number in the photo?
thanks
Rich
