Does anybody know if this item https://a.co/d/0ke0EDa could be used to do the repair shown in this video? https://youtu.be/BHoSzZOab1Q

Douglas thanks for checking out my crappy video lol. I think it has helped a lot of people.

The connector you are looking at at amazon should work just fine. There are probably a dozen different brands of that connector on amazon that will work.

Can you please help me pick one because they all look different internally. Like for instance this one looks like it but Amazon says it won't fit my '04 Corvette. I'm confused ACDelco GM Original Equipment LS268 Turn Signal and Parking Lamp Socket https://a.co/d/7wKHU4A

Please careful, he replaced his burnt bulb, and with all the rain we have been having his lights filling with water, he did something wrong.

Don't you make same mistake, make sure all is tight and boot installed.

Hmmm. Are you reading the same thread we are? I've seen nothing about lights filling with water.
