I used some from Del City I believe, have to check on that though. I used them for a 71 Demon, rear tail lights, I think it was an 1 1/8 hole in the buckets. I had to readjust the prongs to fit, not a great fit, but fit good enough being I couldn't find anything else. Not sure this will help you though.

The help section at the auto parts has some general sockets that should fit. Have some spring like prongs. You can always wire in some LED panels.
