Replacement Under Dash Light Bulb Sockets?
Does anybody know where I can find replacement light bulb sockets that go under the dash? I asked Lectric Limited and they have them but they only sell them as part of the dashboard wiring harness.
I hate to replace the whole harness to fix mine.
Thanks,
Ron

I tried to find new ones for over a year with no success. I finally picked up a pair at Carlisle from Lectric Limited. The guy at the booth had an old harness in a box and cut the connectors off for me. If you can't find a used set you can get courtesy light kits from Painless Wiring that will do the job. They just won't be stock. Here's a link http://www.painlessperformance.com/catalogframe.htm
Look for Connectors and Pigtails, then look at the courtesy light kit. Good luck.

Try AUTOZONE. I think I got one there to replace one of mine that was busted, Not NCRS but functionally correct. Also Junk yard, any GM product of that era.

I just cut a half dozen out of a '66 Corvair ( along with a gold mine of other stuff - I was there 2 hours!) in the local wrecking yard. Exact same, but better for some reason. I can pull half the ones on the Corvette apart, but the 'vair sockets are tight? go figure...

When I redid my speedo to the 140mph unit I replaced all the dash lights while it was apart.Went to a local autoparts store and wanted to buy replacement bulbs,but the new bulbs were attached to a new socket.The whole shabang replaces the twist in socket.
I understand there are LED replacements also,though I think they're rather expensive.
