Default Where can I find the part number/buy the DLR light socket for a C6

I have one that is getting a little brittle and would like to replace. (driver's side)

I went to install Corvette Mods switchback LED and discovered this issue. Regular filament bulbs work but the Switchback LED's only turned amber. Never turned white when testing. Then one just died while it was on.

I think I got two bad Switchbacks. Kinda bummed right now. I already contacted the vendor,just waiting for a response. I hope this doesn't become a huge hassle.

I am using the load resistors too to prevent hyper flashing. Man those things get hot. I think I'll mount them to the frame and extend the wiring.

You have to replace the whole harness which requires removing the head light assy. because one plug on the harness plugs into the bottom of the headlight assy. After figuring that out I cut the plug off and soldered the new plug in. I purchased it at cheapestgmparts.com for 64.00 part #19151368 both the left and right are the same.

Thanks for the heads up.

I ended up ordering this one from Amazon. I hope it is a fit. It looks like it fits but Amazon claims it is not for a C6 corvette. (they've been wrong before, probably got it wrong now too )

I hope it is just the picture but see the two metal tabs in the slot at the bottom there should two tabs at the top also. Hope it works .
