New tail light sockets needed
Due to some pretty unbelievable rust in my rear wheel wells, the back side of my tail lights is directly exposed to the elements, and more specifically, to the spray from my tires. Which is, obviously, really bad. They're all just rusted to hell, and a lot of the wires have rusted completely off, and it's time to rebuild them.
So I bought new tail light assemblies, but obviously, they don't come with new sockets, and I really need new sockets; I was hoping to clean the existing ones up, but there's just no way. Where can I buy new tail light sockets for my 92 XJ? Or am I just going to have to harvest them from something in the boneyard?

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to let you know that I found them at O'Riley's for 5.99 a piece. They were for a ford, not Jeep but they were the same thing that was in my jeep. I believe they were 71-83 Ford and they were on the shelf with the bulbs. I replaced the brake sockets and they work so far.
