Default Headlight Blinker Socket Broken... need replacement part source - HELP!

OK so I was doing the amberectomy oon the headlights and its been going OK.. At first I didnt get what I was trying to do, then I discovered you have to melt that box out.... I thought it was like a thin film on some sort of a shiny backing?

OK... So I got it figured out and both are removed... The trouble is that one of the bulb sockets was rusted out and came apart. I tried getting one at the dealer, but they dont sell them???

I used some folded up strips of brass to make a connection on the bottom to the bulb. This too MANY trys and I even had to take the wire cap off to find the end of the wire (not attached to what was left of the connector) SO I got it to work, but i am sure this is not the best fix...

I didnt take a picture as I was so excited when it finally worked i just plugged it in and put it all back together. SO the description is a light bulb socket that plugs into the bottom of the headlight assy for the blinker. It has a black and brown wire that plug into the light on the outside with a connector that is about 1/2" x 1/4" with one rounded end...

WHERE can I buy one of these???

Your help is really needed.....GO TO IT!

THANK YOU!
