Turn Signal/DRL Socket and Lamp venting

[Whamhammer]

Hello all,


I have the dreaded leaking passenger DRL/Turn Signal and I am pretty sure a shorted socket for my '02 Trans Am.

GM wants $85.00 for the socket (parts guy gave me a horse-hockey excuse about it being a Pontiac and GM no longer supporting them )

I found this lists for interchanges for the socket:

Cross Interchange Parts
Factory Number
AIRTEX-- 6S1086
GM------ 12083680
GM------ 12159662
AIRTEX-- 6S1086
ACDelco- LS260
ACDelco- LS54
ACDelco- PT153


I saw a listing on Rock Auto for an AIRTEX 6S1086 for $28.79

2002 PONTIAC FIREBIRD Turn Signal Lamp Socket

But I also found this listing in Summit for a PICO brand for $7.97

Does anyone have experience with these products?

I had seen a post in the past that offers larger sized light gaskets for the DRL/TS for the car too, but I can't find it.

Also, I thought there was sticky for drilling the hole in the DRL/TS to vent the water out but I couldn't find it either.

Can anybody help me out with these?
