The sockets are a bit loose and one of the welded in nuts is missing on the right base. I think I can clean and tweak to get them in better working order. I just wanted to be able to replace them with repops while I work on the originals. I have the same problem with the back-up light housings. I can find lenses and seals all day but no bases and the sockets are very twitchy. It may be fairly easy to cut the sockets out of the back-up lights and put in replacements though. All the outside lights are working now except the back up lights. Looks like I need a new reverse switch. Should be stabbing the motor tomorrow. Have to replace the fulke hose while it's out. Sucks that no local shops carry 7mm hose. I bought 1/4" but it "feels big".
