    Hello, hoping someone can help me out because local parts guys can't figure it out, and I can only find NOS ones on eBay and need one sooner than that.

    I need a part number for a fully insulated, two wire dash light socket. Doesn't matter if it's bayonet or push in bulb, just needs to be insulated from ground. I know there has got to be like a Standard, Balkamp, Echlin, etc. part number out there. They used sockets like this for GEN lights in all kinds of stuff, most all of the idiot lights in Corvettes, all kinds of stuff but I CAN NOT find a part number for a "regular" brand anywhere. Any help is greatly, greatly appreciated!!!!!!

    There is a standard ign. part # S-74 that uses a 194 bulb. They were used as side marker light or license plate sockets
    36-3w beat me to it. We are talking about the same one.

    Thanks guys!! I'm ordering one up now, hopefully it will fit the hole in the instrument cluster. I think I have some of those sockets from Camaro side markers, thinking they are too bulky for behind the dash. I found that newerish Harleys use an insulated socket for their indicator lights that look just like the original metal one from this car, but can only find them from online suppliers...

    Just to update, I ended up using the light sockets out of an old (90s era) VDO gauge, couldn't find anything that would fit locally.
