Dorman #85876 $6.56 Reverse Light Socket

[Vonhendon]

Has anybody used this part to replace there reverse light socket before or does everybody use the AC Delco #LS108

 

[Vonhendon]

Anybody?

 

[Vonhendon]

so nobody's had to replace this!

I think that's the issue. They hardly ever fail except for corrosion, and Dorman's a perfectly good substitute, and it's a cheap part anyway so nobody's done an in depth engineering analysis on how much better the Dorman might be. Sorry.

We normally have ten times the number of responses here than at trailvoy nowadays.

Thanks for the response, had Napa order me one for $40 something and it looked just like the Dorman , Stealership wanted $60 something. I'll be getting the Dorman. Mine was corroded out and stopping me from passing inspection.

I had to replace mine as both were badly corroded. I just went to a garage and grabbed a couple from the front side markers of some old truck in the yard. I think I just had to cut off a couple of the tabs off to fit in the hole. To prevent corrosion, just add a dab of silicone grease in the socket no matter which one you use. I do this to all my sockets.

Amazon has the LS108 for about $25 but at approx. 1/4th the cost, I'd go with the Dorman.

Never mind what I said. That was for the license plate lights
