I need a lightbulb socket....

Vette(s): 1969 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Just bought it from my uncle who owned it since 1971. Fathom green, green interior. 350/300, T400.
OK, I thought I would finally have the 'Vette back together today, should've known better. The light socket in the gauge cluster with the pink and blue wires that run to it broke. I have looked everywhere, but I can't find a socket with 2 wires that go to it. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Matt

I would try a junkyard if you can't find it at any auto parts stores. Chances are very good any GM car about the same age would have a similar socket.

You can buy new, but the one's I purchased from Zip, (black sockets), were too big to fit. I believe there were gray sockets, and two blue sockets back there on mine. Gray and blue fit. Try Riksvettes.com.
I may have a gray one in the shop, I will look today, if you have not found any, I will send you one, if there are any left. If you have it apart, I would replace all the bulbs, and clean up the printed circuit areas.

You can also try Corvertte Central P/N 661073 $3.70. This may be the socket you need as well. |thumb|
