Replace a melted, corroded or damaged bulb connector with the Dorman headlamp socket 84785 from the Conduct-Tite line, a headlight socket made for the H13/9008 bulb. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2004-2014 Ford F-150, 2011-2012 Ram 1500 and 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500, and it is cataloged for the low-beam position. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of applications.
- Ideal replacement: built to the same fit and terminal count as the original equipment socket.
- Durable construction: made of quality materials with corrosion-resistant electrical contacts.
- Cost-effective solution: splices into the existing vehicle wiring, so only the damaged socket is replaced.
- Quality tested: the part has gone through testing intended to confirm a quality fit and long service life.
The headlamp socket holds the bulb's terminals and carries power from the vehicle wiring to the bulb. Heat, moisture and age can wear it down. Signs it may need replacing include a discolored or melted socket, corroded terminals, or a low beam that flickers or works only some of the time. A failed bulb, a blown fuse or a wiring fault can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the socket.
