Source for park light sockets?

Got my newly painted hood on and I'm gathering up park light parts. I've got new lenses and bezels and I'm going to clean up and paint my metal buckets. My original light sockets are in bad shape. Any source for these?

I don't know about original style. You might try Classic Industries or Summit sells sockets made by Dorman such as 84725. In Canada I would think you could get them at a Napa or Canadian Tire or even Princess Auto.

A used an aftermarket unit so I could run a ground wire to the socket itself. I'm not at home right now, I kept the box too.
Then I used these crimp on terminals with the new wires.
The light socket has a ground terminal on it.

I see a number of options on line. I’ll try some local parts places first I should be able to make something fit.

Found Standard S29 at the local auto parts store. It fit a little snug so I filed the opening just a bit with a rat tail file. Just have to figure out which wire is park/signal.
