I need help with my map lights

I have an '04 supercab with the overhead rail system and I am in need of both bulb sockets for the front map lights. I have called the stealership and they say you need to buy the whole assembly. I just need the 2 little black twist sockets that hold the bulbs. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!

Any possibility of getting the assembly "used"? (From a "recycle" source?) I'm guessing it doesn't come in "parts", but you might be able to either substitute the whole assembly from a recycle yard or just swap the "parts".

Check ebay. I just bought a rear one for $10. It came out of an 04 and was grey, perfect shape. Using it for a little custom project. I saw a grey front one when I was shopping for the rear one.

Those sockets may very well be the same as the ones that are used in the instrument cluster (dash lights). Good luck.

On the rear they were asking $22 I made an offer of $10 and they took it.
