I had to pull my tachometer out to get it to work. Long story short, 2 of the little snap in light bulb holders pulled out of the wire. I cant get the little copper piece to open back up. Is there a place to buy the replacement bulb holders? or am I SOL and need to try to soldier them back on so I can be able to get the bulbs back in and working. Regretably one of the bulbs is my right turn signal bulb. I looked on a few corvette sites and cant find the little bulb holders. Any help is appreciated.



thanks

You just need two?  I probably have some in my electrical parts box.  I'd solder them on first...  If that doesn't work, PM me.

Contact Lectric Limited , they may have something for that, if you cannot find something local. I might also have a few around, but not sure. Can you get a pic of one of yours, to be sure we are talking about the same sockets?
