Where to buy tail light, bulb socket?

One of my rear lights doesn't blink when turn signal is on. Removed tail light cover and pulled socket. Switched socket with other three tail lights and fault follows socket so I assume wiring is good. Tried cleaning, pushing pins together for better contact etc with no luck. Dealer says need to buy entire harness to get socket? Anyone know of wrecking yards or any other way to buy a single socket?

thanks

Not sure if you can get just socket unless you find salvage.

Search 15780132. Ebay has some used harnesses....just make sure they are including the sockets.

Awesome car/color !! I'm biased though, I have the same as yours only a year older

To my knowledge that is correct, the individual socket is not available OEM/Aftermarket -

$268 for bulb socket FU dealer

One of my sockets was heavily corroded and light was failing. You can no longer buy just the socket. Dealer wanted $268 for a whole light kit...

Luckily Dino’s Corvette Salvage had some for $25!
