did you try cleaning up the contacts? a pencil eraser works for that. Or bending them out a bit so they make better contact. ---

If all else fail an auto-electric shop could probably adapt something for you that uses a standard turn signal bulb. I’ve never had to do that on cars, but sometimes had to do it on home lighting fixtures that came with weird bulb connections. ---

The turn signal uses a standard bulb similar to an 1156A, the way the socket mounts to the headlight is unique. ---

Well, I certainly hope the replacements come through and you’re back up and running soon. I know what I would do if faced with this problem on a 13 year old car. I’d buy the closest common replacement socket, modify it to at least fit into the headlamp assy hole, splice it into the harness and then use a bead of that peel-able window sealant to secure it into the headlamp assembly. If, for some weird reason, I still had the car when those lamps failed, you could easily pull the socket back out and swap the bulbs. Then re-seal it back in the same way. viola! 😉 ---

Got help from: Nevada-\_545 in his 7/23 post @ 4:50 PM showing a link to ebay. Clicking on the ebay link shows photos of the socket insert. A later post from Nevada\_545 says it all: the socket is “unique” design - it uses a standard bulb but the way it installs into the headlight housing is unusual. Many thanks to all those in the “car talk community” who have assisted in this “search.” ---

Unfortunately the one of contacts “burned” through because, I believe, it “wobbled” repeatedly in the housing. I tried closing the burned hole by soldering it but it didn’t work. When the “wobble” happened an " electric arc" was produced which, I believe, caused the “hole.” Assuming the new ones I ordered with the help of car talk’s Nevada\_545 I should be up & running soon! Again, thanks to all of the car talk fans who helped in this. [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/can-t-find-2005-chrysler-crossfire-turn-signal-bulb-sockets/121503.md?page=1)
