There were two styles of those light fixtures used. One style used replaceable #161 or #194 light bulbs that just pulled out of the socket. The second style required you to replace the whole socket. Go to a junkyard and find some that have the replaceable bulbs that just pull out of the socket.

Well, do as I mentioned in my last post. Go to the junkyard and get some sockets that allow you to just change the bulbs. I think it was around late 89 or early 90 they went with the style that you have.
