Hi everyone. Does anybody have an idea as to what the name is of the actual part that holds the light bulbs in the rear tail light? Mine is rusted in the pins and one broke off and my parking lights won't work on the driver side. Thanks for any info. I feel like an idiot asking the question because I used to be pretty good with cars. One of these days I'll get the manual! LOL

May be called tail light bulb socket.
Your auto parts place should have some or can get them.
And do not feel bad for asking.
I have been around for 45 years on car repair and find a lot of parts have several different names and repair manuals and parts books call it by different names.
And dealer parts place and a general auto place may have different names for the same part.
If all else fails take the part with you and show the parts place what you need.
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

Also these are parts of a recall for 2002 and 2003, the usual issue of not posting the year pops it's head up again in this thread!

Thanks guys for the info! I'll be contacting my local dealer and get a recall list.
