Default Trunk Light - bulb mount source

I'm out here just looking to swap a pair of bulbs out and am stymied. A prior owner added CarvetteMads blue led strips all over the car. One was mounted on the cross bar beneath the glass on the Z06 and had been alligator clipped into the wiring at the trunk Light in the passenger rear. That has all been removed. The factory wiring can plug into the trunk light housings on both sides. I have a pair of 194 red LEDs to go in place, but I am missing the base they slip into which you then twist into place in the light housing.

Where can I get a pair of these?

And I should check my footwells up front now, too, as I bet they hashed those apart the same way.

I have scrolled through dozens of pages of sockets for 194 bulbs. All I see are those directly wired. This GM piece, instead, has sockets with power and ground strips on the face which makes contact with the light housing.

Can anyone point me in a direction other than the wrecking yard?
