So currently my low beam headlight socket, pictured below, will not clip on to the headlight bulb.

I've looked on RockAuto.com and the replacement sockets do not match the picture above.

Am I missing something? Is there a replacement for this part? Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This part is causing trouble in my truck as well but it's the drl that goes off while plugged in. I'm going to just take the clip out of the equation and solder the wires together.

Try your local dealer. They probably have them in stock. It is a really common problem.

I might attempt that too if you don't have any issues after soldering the wires together.
