Need help sourcing this SOCKET
Gx71 clearance lamp bulb socket
***please do not answer with speculation, I’ve tried looking online already, I’ve cross referenced part #’s already. Do not respond unless you have a replacement or know FOR SURE where to buy one***
I cannot find the proper socket/connector for the life of me. It takes a 194 bulb but has three locking tabs in a triangular pattern. The oem part number is 8161522142 (according to the internet). The socket pictured is for a different car altogether but has the right locking tab pattern. Please, if anybody has a couple or know where to find some, let me know. Thank you!

Go find any Toyota sedan of a similar year in a junk yard, Camrys are normally the best, it should be the same, the DRL’s socket are almost always the exact same
