Eagle Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 a.k.a. "HELP!" parts. The socket you want isn't listed for Jeeps -- it's a Ford socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 You can use the 1157 socket for an 1156 bulb, you just have to figure out which lead doesn't get connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ωhm Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Tie the two feed wires (1157 socket) together for better contact with the bulb (1156). Backyard engineering at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolverineCub Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 I have the ones at Amazon, same as on eBay but don't fit. The plastic lugs or tabs are off. Any others that don't need modifications? I look for Ford, same thing. PartsSquare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The Ford sockets I used to buy from the HELP! rack at Auto Zone were all metal. They have have discontinued them -- I haven't looked for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
