Default Front Side Marker Light Sockets! Help!

Well, I searched the most popular Corvette Parts Websites and I can't find the light sockets for my Vette. Maybe they call them something different. I need the front side marker light sockets for my '80 Corvette. There are two sockets for each front side marker assembly. One is smaller than the other. Where can I find these...

You might try the help rack at a good local auto parts store. They have lots of different replacement pigtails.

Try "lectriclimited.com" . They have lots of electrical components that others don't carry.

Did you try Zip Corvette?
Here is what I believe you are looking for http://www.zip-products.com/Zip/prod...f%5Fid=L%2D387


If not, go to our website and type "socket" in the search field and select 1980 and hit enter. It will bring up all your parking, marker, license light sockets, etc.

We'll match any price, call us if you find the same quality part for sale cheaper.

Thanks to everyone. Found them and went ahead and also ordered a set of window anti-rattle clips and a t-top molding kit from our friends at Zip's Corvettes. I must have been really tired last night. I just couldn't find the darn sockets I'm good to go now, thanks to the forum and the people that make it happen.

Keep passing the wave!
