Where can I find a 91-92 chmsl bulb socket?

I'm going to go to the local junk yard to see if they have the whole assembly for pennies, so to speak, but some idiot of a PO did a bunch of stupid wiring in my camaro, well I'm fixing it.... First the tach, then the fan, now the hmsl. I'm fixing the wiring issue and find out that the cut the power wire to the hmsl and decided to run their own power.... So I disconnect the self powered wire, and put it back to the factory wire.... Tested the brake light.... No power. Took the bulb out and checked it, bulb was fine... BUT I noticed that the build fitting was round... My 92 was rectangular, then I noticed what they did.... They yanked the factory bulb SOCKET out and put a regular tail light socket in and ghetto wired it.

Long story short.... Anyone know where I can find the factory style chmsl socket?? Thanks guys

Is it supposed to be a one wire socket or two?

The one the guy put in the car is a single wire socket, can it be made to work? I couldn't find that socket on that website.

Yes you can make it work by soldering a wire to the outer portion (ground) of the old socket.

Also, here is the info from their website for a new socket:

If your computer can’t hookup with their computer you can call them at 800-638-1830.
