968 F-Directional bulb socket availability?????

A customers '94 968 came in with a directional issue that I traced to a bad front bulb socket. Apparently someone in the past had jabbed a hole into the pigtail end of the plastic socket and never plugged the hole. Moisture and a few months time lead to severe corrosion to the point that the socket terminals are completely gone on the socket end and damn close to that in the pigtail. No good....

Anyway after calling three Porsche dealerships and two local aftermarket warehouses it seems that this part is NOT available from the dealer. One dealership gave me a line of BS stating I had to purchase a complete turn signal lense assembly in order to get the part(crap). Jon @ Hennessy Porsche in Georgia said it may be a part included w/ the complete front wiring harness but cannot visually verify that and it's awfull expensive to purchase that harness to find it doesn't and can't return it. I have Jeff @ Parts Heaven looking for a used one they can send my way but I haven't heard back from him yet.....

Does anyone here know of any place that sells this part new or NOS for that matter. The socket is for the 1157 style bulb up front. I definitely need to source the socket itself, but if someone can get me the socket and the pigtail end with the 3-prong clip and 3-4 inches of the 3 wire harness that would be even better. I did manage to salvage the pigtail end of the harness but would prefer to replace it alltogether for the customer with a properly working part.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
