Default Need 1976 rear interior lamp help

Hi,
Anyone know where I can find a repair harness pigtail for the rear interior lamp in a 1976? This one is just cut off from harness, I cannot find one.

I think its the same lamp and housing used in most GM cars up thru 1982.

It appears its two clips that snap into housing and then the bulb clips into those at each end, similar to fuse box clips.

Any help much appreciated!

I see what you mean, there is everything out there but the socket.

When I had a problem finding the speaker grills I called a place where they part out vettes.

I know this guy is in Canada, but shipping should be close to the same. Send Ken an email to see what he has.

PS. It's not me.

Thanks for responding, I am hoping I was missing something, hard to believe this is not available new, its used all across GM lines during 80's so volume is there for sure. I may have to call some scrappers. But really prefer not to buy used electrical parts.

Normally I agree with you, but in this case, it's just an electrical connection.

Worst case scenario, you have to sand the contacts down with some sand paper and you would be good for a very long time.

I would tug on the wires to see if they come out of the sockets...if they do I would solder them first.
