Help Finding Where To Buy Replacement Eyelid Socket
Hey guys. Was putting in new eyelid LEDs earlier today, but one of the sockets is kind of messed up on my passenger side headlight. I was trying to figure out where to buy a replacement eyelid socket. I checked parts.com and found this diagram, but can't tell if #14 is what I need or not.

Is that just for the turn signal bulb, or are all the sockets the same? If that isn't the one, then does anyone know where I can find what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that is it but I cannot confirm. I was able to source one of these from the dealer a while back since I thought I lost mine -- turns out it was just in the under tray.
I'll sell you mine if you'd like. It's brand spankin' new. $20 shipped and it's yours.

That looks like the turn signal. From what I understand the eyelid light socket is only available as part of the headlight. Best bet would be to find a complete headlight and replace it.
Looked into it as well, both my inner sockets on both sides are burnt, dried and won't keep the bulb secure

You guys are kind of freaking me out haha. Didn't expect it to be that difficult/have to buy a whole new headlight just to get that one little piece from it.

ahhh unfortunately that's not what i'm looking for. i think that's just the cap cover that keeps debris from getting into where the bulb goes. i'm looking for the actual socket and wires that you plug the bulbs into.

gonna be tough to find. for my C300, I ended up buying a whole headlight unit on ebay and swapping out the missing parts I needed.

seems kinda nutty to have to buy a whole headlight just to get a little socket for one of the dinky eyelid bulbs. guess i'll just wait around for someone to part out another w204.
