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.
