light bar socket

[Cratos]

anyone have a source for the bulb sockets for the 70 light bar?

The light bar wiring harness with sockets is be reproduced, not sure of a source for just the sockets.

Can you tell me who produces them?

Click on "light bar wiring harness" in the above post, linked to Classic Industries, they offer it, not sure who makes it, off-shore I'm sure.

I bet you can get them through Roseville Moparts also .

FWIW, these are actually made in the US. In stock and ready to ship. Hope this helps.

Interesting, regardless of where it’s manufactured the accuracy of this reproduction could be better. The bulb sockets fit too loosely in the original light bar reflectors, requires quite a bit of reworking to get an acceptable fit/connection by my recent experience.

Thanks for letting us know. We hadn't heard any complaints about the fitment. We'll check on this and work with the manufacturer to see if we can get a better fitting product.

The issue is they are using the wrong socket type for the 4-light Rallye light bar. The socket used is designed to fit in a tube, not to snap into a hole in thin gauge metal. The pressure tab is too far away from the lip to properly secure the socket and provide a sufficient ground connection. The 3-light standard cluster light bar uses tubes, these sockets would likely work for that application.

I had to shim mine to tighten it up, in the light bar

Thank you for the illustration, this makes it very easy to see where the problem is. We will get in contact with the manufacturer to see if we can get the sockets updated to fit properly.

if you get this fixed, will you send out a replacement that fits right? I do not like having to shim them to get a ground for the lights to work.

Send us a DM with your specific information (Name, email, order number, etc). If/when we get to a solution on this we'll follow up with you.
