Halogen Replacement Bulb Sockets

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

Re: Halogen Replacement Bulb Sockets
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.
