Default dash bulb wire help

One of the wires that attaches to a dash light separated from the holder as I was reinstalling my gauge cluster. Is it possible to purchase a replacement. The only help I got from one vendor was to sell me an entire wiring harness. For clarity, I posted a picture of the broken holder. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated?

Thanks,
Dan

You can simply crimp a new button to the wire once you pass the wire through the connector shown.

I replaced my harness and have all the old dash light fixtures. You would have to splice it into your old wire. I'll send you one if you want it. Send PM with your info if wanted.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking for them online without success. Can you suggest a vendor who may have them?

Thanks

Dan, I can drop a couple in the mail if you need a few otherwise Ron Francis wiring should carry them by the box.

Thanks for the offer and the information. Al (APV) is sending me a socket from an old wiring harness. If that doesn't work I'll contact Ron Francis Wiring.

Thanks again. This forum is a great source of people willing to help.
