Two broken bulb sockets

[chadhughes]

Hopefully someone can help.

I’ve had both my front left and right turn bulb sockets in the headlights melt. The bulb melted the plastic of the socket itself. I’m not trying to buy the whole headlight. I found these on xenonland.com but it’s gonna cost $200 to ship to the states. I’m in Southern California. Besides a scrap yard, does anyone know where else I might be able to find these bad boys for cheap?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Which headlight system?

You can purchase mk6 front turn sockets and with slight modifications, with a dremel make them work. Make sure to check the light brightness setting, if it is set at 100% , it will melt the bulb socket.

Do you have the part number for the MK6 socket that take the MK5 GTI turn signal bulb https://www.rockauto.com/info/685/12356CP_Front__ra_p.jpg
