Tail light socket

[James R.]

I have another question regarding the tail light assembly for my 58. My car was a basket case and the original sockets for the tail lights are long gone. Are there replacements out there? Can I use the the light socket from the front parking lights? I have searched the archive without success and there must be others out there that have had this problem.
Thanks,
Jim

Try Paragon, Long Island, Doc Rebuild, or Lectric Limited know I got that connector a few years back at Paragon

James, I don't think front and back are interchangeable. Depending on the shape of your light assemblies, I would just get new ones (assemblies) from Paragon or CC. Where are you located in TX? I'm down in "the valley".

John,
I have looked at both the Paragon and CC websites and CC sells a socket, but, it is listed for a 55 car. Paragon doesn't show that they carry any socket...I'll give them a call and ask if it is something they don't list on thier website.
I'm in San Antonio.
