Can we replace the DRL socket?
One of my light bulbs went out yesterday on my DRL, so I was going to replace it. When I took the socket out, I noticed the socket was almost black! 
And when I took the light bulbs out, one of the tabs on the socket broke. So now I want to see if I can buy a pair of DRL sockets. I called one of the local dealerships up and they wanted me to bring the car in because they don't know if DRL and turning signals are the same 
Any inputs on buying a pair?

The DRL and the turn signal are the same bulb (dual filament) in the same socket. It has 2 input wires and a common ground.
Looking at the picture of the part on the GM Parts Direct website, the socket seems to come with the pigtail. Looks like you'd need a left and a right socket.
