Okay, I've been shot down twice now by online dealers and am starting to get crazy ideas of how to get this stupid part to my door. About a year and a half ago I broke my reverse light bulb socket in my 04. I looked for a replacement at the time and found that the only way I could get a socket was to purchase the entire lens assembly at $70+. Since the socket itself is only $2-5, I was not willing to go this route. However, when I pulled the part number directly from the socket and looked it up online, it is listed exclusively as an export part and no place I've tried to order it from says they can get it for me since I am in the States. I'm getting incredibly frustrated at this point and am hoping a dealer like Woodhouse might be able to give me a hand or maybe someone has a broken housing laying around with a good socket they would be willing to sell me. I have the damn part in my hand. I removed it from the car myself. I KNOW THIS PART IS NOT AN EXPORT PART BECAUSE IT CAME OFF OF MY NON-EXPORT CAR. No one lists the Viper in the fitment charts, I'm guessing because of the very low volume. When I try explaining this to the places I've tried to buy the part from, I get the "sorry, still can't order it" line. The part number is 05288920AA. It's listed as a socket for a few different applications (everything from rear fog lights to turn signals), but not as a Viper reverse light. Can anyone help me?
I'm almost to the point that I would buy it and have it shipped out of the States to a friend, then have them ship it back to me since that seems to be the only way to purchase this part.
