    Well, I was driving down the freeway a while ago and my entire corner light assy flew off my truck. It took the housing, bulb, and the socket thing that the lightbulb plugs into, the little thing that screwes into the back of the housing. I went to toyota and they want 30 bucks for the little son of a bitch. Does anybody have an extra one, know where to get one for cheap, or know what it's called exactly?

    check rockauto. Check the official vendor forum for a discount code. The website is not user friendly, but I've ordered lots of stuff off there with no issues.

    Ahh shit man, no worries. Thanks anyway, though!

    Just my luck... They don't have that socket alone. But they do have the corner light assy with the socket and bulb. If I can't find just a socket, I mught end up buying the whole thing. It's only like 8 bucks.

    Great site though!!!

    You might can go to autozone and pick up a universal 194a socket. I've done it to replace the headlight sockets in one of our chevy's so there is a good chance they have one for that bulb because it is very popular.

    I already tried that. They don't have the right ones but they can order a complete new corner light assy for me. I'm just trying not to pay more than I have to just to get a little plastic part.

    Yea I understand. Did you try a junkyard? If they have a truck, they might just give you the socket.
