I've only looked at Jeep vehicles in the junkyard, I know Ford's and GM's I've owned used a different size thingy. What I've found are complete wiring harnesses that they didn't want me to cut pieces off, or already stripped ones. It didn't occur to me to check out other AMC vehicles in the junkyard, I'll have to do that. I was hoping someone on here could tell me "xxx has them for $yyy": mail order is much cheaper than gas. |

Re: CJ dash bulb holder thingy
Try looking around the aisle that houses Help Brand parts at your local
parts store. Help parts offer a variety of things that often break, but are not available from anywhere else. Help offers up stuff like drain plugs for the oil pan, door lock plungers, an -----load of nylon and plastic parts. They even have the Ignition Rack! They also carry an assortment of electrical plugs and connectors. I am 99% sure they will have the bulb socket you are looking for.
