Replace a damaged headlight bulb connector with the Dorman headlamp socket, Conduct-Tite part number 85811. It is a 3-wire socket for 9004 and 9007 halogen bulbs, cataloged for the high-beam position. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-2005 Dodge Ram 1500, 1987-2003 Ford F-150 and 1986-1987 Honda Civic. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Ideal replacement: Built to match the original equipment socket's fit and terminal count.
  • Durable construction: Made of quality materials, with electrical contacts that resist corrosion.
  • Cost-effective repair: Splices into the existing vehicle wiring, so you replace only the damaged socket.
  • Quality tested: Tested for a quality fit and service life.

The socket connects the 9004 or 9007 bulb to the vehicle's headlight wiring through its three terminals. Signs this socket may need replacing include:

  • a headlight that flickers or works only some of the time
  • a headlight that stays dark even with a good bulb
  • a socket that is cracked, melted or corroded

A bulb, switch, relay or wiring fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the circuit before replacing the socket. To install it, cut out the damaged socket and splice this one into the existing wiring. Make secure, insulated connections as the vehicle service information directs.
