Halogen Replacement Bulb Sockets

I am in the middle of replacing all the bulbs in my 86' TA Digital Dash but cant seem to find some sockets... Images are too big so i post them on Flickr.

The sockets are for a GE #74 bulb, and if you can see in the pictures, there are 2 different size bulbs and sockets... The larger bulb is a #168/ 194 bulb and the socket hole is 1/2", as you can tell the #74 bulb is much much smaller, about 1/4". If anybody knows where i can find the #74 bulb socket please point me in the right direction. Oh, and on the backs of the #74 sockets there is a 1D1 4130 or IDI 4130 stamped on them. I am trying to keep them Halogen bulbs and trying to stay away from the LED's. Although im starting to consider changing them but don't want the "Blotchy" effect that i hear about.

BTW sorry if i double posted but i searched through out the forums and didn't find a thing. And also the floor that the dash is sitting on is my garage floor, that would be bad if my living room was that dirty...

Thanks,
Jason

Is this the socket you need?

You know you don't need to replace the socket when the bulb goes bad. Just pull the bulb out and push a new one in. If you really need the socket, hit the junkyard and snag a couple out of virtually any GM vehicle of the same vintage.

Re: Halogen Replacement Bulb Sockets

Some of the newer ones are soldered together as a light/socket assembly. I found some a couple of years ago at my local NAPA, pat number was PC194 for the assembly IIRC.
