'02 turn signal bulb socket

I was told by the dealer that these sockets melt because of the heat generated from the bulb. Well they are correct, only problem is the sockets list at $80ea. Any fixes for this problem?

Mine are kind of crispy and in need of replacement as well.

Had an issue with mine a while back. Went to a junk yard and found out that they use the same socket on Grand Ams and Gran Prix models of the same period. Sort of a PITA installing but if you can splice a wire then this is an easy/cheap fix. I recommend using butt connectors to splice with since this is a permanent fix, and use terminal grease on the bulb ends.

Those sockets fit many different vehicles. Get the part number and google it. You will find that most of the small parts fit many different cars.

They have theme in my autopart store right in the electric isle for like 12 bucks I seen them a couple weeks after i paid like 40 for mine.
I think its just a standard socket used on alot of cars
