One of my DRL lights had burned out, so I bought a new bulb (expensive and not available at Wal Mart)and removed the lens assembly. When I pulled the socket, the bulb heat had fused the plastic bulb base to the socket. This with a stock DRL bulb. I looked at the other side and it is also melted together.

Looks like I'll need to replace the sockets for the DRL bulbs.

The dealer wants $26 for each socket, while the local auto parts store wants $20 each.

Is there any quality difference between the dealer's replacement socket and the auto parts store?

I'll pay the extra $6 each if the dealer part is better quality, but I don't want to spend extra for the same thing.

anyone replace their light sockets? who did you get the new ones from?

Thanks
Steve
