Anybody have a good source for these?
Mine have fallen apart for the last time. When you pull a socket to change the bulb the ground ring comes loose and the bulb falls inside the cluster. I finally decided to pull the dash and replace all 12 sockets. These are the single wire type.
Thanks, Greg
Don't know if you're looking for single or double wire
Check your local NAPA for Echlin LS6225 or Corvette central 661073 (5/8") ecklers 25-398767-1 or 25-398778-1

Corvette Central has both single and double wire versions.
I recently converted all my single wire ones in the center bezel with the double wire versions (same as the Door Ajar and Head Light warning lights).
I was having intermittent ground issues, so some of the lights would flicker over bumps, and even when hitting the high beams!
They cost more ($11.95 vs. $5.50 each) but no more flickering!
I just ran them all to a common ground wire that I screwed to the upper dash frame, and then took one of the 5 gray hot wires from that circuit and gang-soldered it to all 5 of the hot leads of the new sockets (I used new LEDs so I wasn't worried about overloading 5-on-1).
2-part JB Weld epoxy---Put a little dot of it on the slot for each tang on that ring. Press the metal ring back in place. Allow 24 hours to fully cure. It will never come apart again.
