Instrument panel turn indicators?
I just finished wiring the turn signal switch (it works!) but do not have the instrument panel cluster wired to display the turn signal because there are no light sockets to connect to. Looking at the back of the dash, it looks like there should be a socket inserted just behind the turn indicator on the dashboard similar to the instrument panel lights, but both slots behind left/right arrows are empty.
I looked at the usual places to order it (LMC, F100Central, RockAuto) and cannot seem to find anyone selling these.
Am I just missing it? Ive searched for pilot lights, instrument panel lights, back lights, dashboard lights and I have not been able to find the right part.
Thanks for your help

If this looks right then mid fifty has then but I think any auto parts store would have a universal style.

those sockets are the same as the hi-beam and dash light bulb holders. if all else fails, see if you cant scab some from another dash assy. the sockets themselves are easy to rebuild if the wire's insulation is rotted away, just a little putzy is all.

If you run into a spot let me know. I always keep them and rebuild them when I buy old instrument panels to get parts to make up gauges.
Like Dumbluck noted, they are easy to fix. Usually a piece of heat shrink over the old wire does the trick
I probably have a couple I could give you if the ones in the link above don't work.
