Give your turn signal and stop lamp bulb a fresh, secure mounting point with the Dorman Conduct-Tite Turn Signal Lamp Socket 85860, a 2-wire universal turn and stop socket with a ground tab. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1971-1978 Dodge Charger, 1981-1985 Dodge B150 and 1981-1985 Dodge B250, and replaces a worn, corroded or damaged socket in the lamp circuit. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for every listed vehicle.
- Extra-long leads: Dorman builds this socket assembly with extra-long wire leads, giving plenty of length to reach and splice into the existing harness.
- Multiple butt connectors: The assembly comes with several butt connectors for joining the new leads to the vehicle wiring.
- 2-wire design with ground tab: Set up as a universal turn/stop socket, with two wires and a ground tab for the bulb circuit.
- Straightforward installation: Easy to install, and no special tools are needed.
- Built to a standard: Made to strict engineering quality standards from high-quality materials, with durability in mind.
The socket holds the bulb and carries power and ground to it. If a corroded or failed socket is behind a turn signal or brake lamp that flickers, dims or won't light, this assembly replaces it. Check the bulb, fuse and wiring as well, since those can cause the same signs.
