Default Where can I get front turn signal pigtail unit?

I've replaced the driver's side front turn signal bulb twice in the past 6 months. When I pulled the socket out to replace the bulb the last time I noticed some corrosion around and in the socket (pigtail?). Where might be the best/least expensive place to get replacement parts for it?

Thanks

I'm sure Gene can help you out: http://www.gmpartshouse.com/. You should probably check your DRL's housing for cracks as well. The General didn't do a very good job manufacture these. The bulbs get too hot and over time, crack the housings. The cracks will let moisture and/or water in that will cause the receptacles contacts to corrode.

This is just a guess, but if not your local GM dealer I'd try any chain type auto jobber (Auto Zone, NAPA, Advance, etc) and look in the "Help" section for a replacement socket.
