I know some of you guys can find anything, Does any one know where i can buy 5 of these.Image This is the stock light socket in VDO guages. I have tried the manufacture but they shipped a replacement part that does not fit. This should be easy to find but have not been successful.

Thanks

Wowzers. It's almost cheaper to buy a gauge with two of those things attached and throw away the gauge!

I bought the same gauges so I'll be careful not to bust any of 'em.
