Replacement sockets are available at chain parts stores but they are a universal design. The only possible issue would be the wire connector. You may have to cut the existing connector off the wire and use something that fits the replacement. The physical size of the lighter socket is universal.

Thanks guys. vettenuts didn't show any and they are not universal for the connection. After shopping the net, I checked with the Chevy dealer and I can get it all with the lighter for $20 less 10% and I'll have one made for it.
When buying over the counter at the dealer, ask for a DIY discount and tell them dealers are doing it. I got 20% off a $100 part.
