1998 Ford Contour. Tail light socket issue.

[hawkskye]

Even hunting down a rear tail light socket for my sons 1998 LX 2L and not only is it a unique setup (no after market units fit) but apparently this is a chronic problem with these cars.
Maybe time to break out the Dremel and make something fit.

Thanks Toy. I'll try the rock auto lead. eBay was a bust. Every one I checked was wrong. The twistloack flange on my version is different. The ears are tiny.
