Default Reverse Light Socket?

i need the actual socket part that goes into the reverse light (drivers side). Everything else is there. GM says I have to buy the entire light kit which is $150 just for the socket. Is there a generic socket that will work??

i got pics of what I was referring to. Anyone know where I can get just the socket part?

Passenger side that works.
Plug for drivers side
Another angle of plug for drivers
Light on drivers where socket that holds bulb would go and the part I need!
