'94 Center Brake Light

Anyone know of a place that sells the center brake lamp socket assembly
online? I've been running on one light (the incorrect, dim one at that) for
a number of years now, because I just can't bring myself to spend $120 for a
piece of plastic. Has anyone been able to do anything with LEDs? Now THAT
would be cool!
Thanks!

I hate that socket soooo much on my '94...

I had one of the lights burn out and took it all apart to replace the
lamp. I pulled the lamp out, heard a "tink" and had a little broken
piece of plastic in my hand and the lamp wouldn't lock in place...

OK, my fault, I'm hamfisted... Bought a new one for $64 (this was back
in '95) and used it for a year.

Then the same bulb blew out. Repeated the same process and ended up
with another broken socket. Sheesh, that thing was cheaply made.

I decided it wasnt my hamfist and that I wasnt going to spend another
$64, so I epoxied the bulb in place and soldered it's wires to the
circuit board that was part of the lamp assembly..

You know what, I havent burned out another bulb ever again after doing
that... That's good because that bulb isn't going to come out, no way,
not ever...
