I need to replace one of the headlight bulb sockets on my L185DT as the plastic piece that locates the wire ends has broken. I'm finding all sorts of other types online, but none of the ones with the spring loaded pins. I'll take info on purchasing new, used, socket or the entire assembly if needed.

You can usually get the pigtails at a good auto parts store as well. I am sure you can get them under the Dorman offerings.
Thanks, I actually work at a parts store. None of the spacing was right for the contacts on the bulb that we had.

Interesting, my L225 the headlight bulbs are the same size bayonet as an 1157 bulb.

Some of you may already know this, but this guy right here is the absolute best! Not only did he send me the socket for free, he included a bulb, some snacks and an American Flag. He's got my business from now on for sure! Great guy!
