Light went out NEED HELP!!
Hi, my left turn light went out in the headlights so i went ahead and took the socket out and the bulb was in so tight that went i tried to pull it out it broke in my hand leaving a deep cut and i hand to use a screw driver to take out the pieces of glass. Now my bulb socket looks like this..








Now do i need a new socket or something?

I know but the locks that hold the bulb down are broking.
Do the socket in the stock headlights fix in my after market headlights?







If they do can i cut the wire on the stock ones and rewire them into the ones i have now?

Thanks

It's actually faster to take the entire headlight completely out.
