Default Right front running light socket problem

My right front running light/turn signal socket has been a problem for a while now. I've massaged it for several years but I'm tired of bending and sanding the contacts only to find it failing after a month or two. It constantly destroys bulbs by sparking, destroying the wire on the bulb. It's only the right socket, the left is fine. Is there a replacement socket I can buy to replace it?

On a side note, I'd also like to replace the bulbs with LED's, is there a decent site that sells fairly priced LED replacement bulbs and LED compatible relays so the turn signals won't blink 2x too fast when the bulbs aren't actually dead?
