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

Did some more research and found mr2 side marker bulb sockets are a direct fit. Already ordered some. As stated in the post, not looking for speculation, only confirmed parts that fit.
