Title: 69 console gauge light socket
Post by: MrGrinch on May 07, 2020, 06:40:03 AM

Hello, does anyone know where I could get replacement sockets for the center console gauge lights? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

There's nothing special about it. I've purchased replacement sockets and pig tails at Auto Zone. It's a type "S" socket and was used on a bizillion cars and trucks through the years. Dorman sells it under their part number 85805. Available at most car parts stores. Here's the one from AUTO ZONE (https://www.autozone.com/power-tools/electrical-socket/dorman-conduct-tite-5-8in-1-wire-single-contact-snap-in-electrical-sockets/600627_0_0?fromString=search&make=&model=&year=). Uses bulb 1815 or 1895 (original bulb was 1895).

Thanks Ed, appreciate it. 

My main concern was just finding one that would clip into the hole and stay in place. I'll check this one out.
