Technical 1157style socket

I need a double filament socket for turn signal or stop light. 1157 type, but I need shallow one, or 90Deg type? any ideas?

 

Normal double contact, offset pin.

 

Dorman catalogue

Metal you can modify with file ,
Older ones change pig tail around to your needs ,
Plastic options also,

As close as your local NAPA. HRP

 

Funny you should mention modern sockets; I just bought a similar socket for my daily driver truck and I was looking at it last night and wondering why I spent time messing around with the currently made Chineseum 1157 sockets when I made some custom park light housings for my '47.

 

yes and the junk yards are full of them

 

Sadly,the junk yards I grew up with in this area have turned into recycling/crushing yards.

A guy can no longer roam aimlessly through rows of cars on a Saturday morning looking for parts like I did when I was a teenager. HRP

 

Modern, non-led tail lights have plastic sockets and usually quite shallow. Check what's on your daily driver

 

Lasted until about 15-20 years ago around here , special dispensation for some of us older guys with common sense ...

 

Thanks

 

If you have the metal or plastic with correct side pins just change to a two pin card

 

I got these AmericanAutowire sockets from Summit. You don’t have to use the hold down plates, but they turned out to be a life saver for my buggered up tail lights. I can’t get a good measurement on them installed, but the are not as deep as the original FoMoCo socket…

 

Look into someone that has an early Cougar sitting 90 * 1157 socket in the tail lights , 6 of them

 

What bulb did you use?

 

Holley LED 1157. Seem to be pretty bright, but I have not got it out of the garage yet to confirm.

 

I just bought some repair 1157 sockets at NAPA for mine. They came with 6" leads attached. Once I snapped them in I bent over a few ot the little clips as I don't plan on replacing them, and wanted them to stay put.
