Tail light socket and wire leads

I need to rewire my rear tail light. Anyone know where I could find replacement socket inserts? They twist lock into the rear of the socket. The small plastic piece on the table is missing the wires out the rear.

Most auto parts stores should have the pigtails if you plastic part is still good. If not just strip a little insulation from the end of a wire and dip it in a puddle of solder.

I only have one of the two plastic parts and it's in poor shape.

Looks like LMC has them for pickups. Should be the same socket.

That might be it. It's worth $6 to find out. Thanks!
