Dan I think you and the OP are maybe talking different lights, maybe he is talking clearance (side marker light) and you thought he meant the front park/turn light.
I agree musta been changing/editing when you posted again....

I just got one of two S505s I ordered from rockauto. It occured to me then that I did not clarify that I meant the yellow parking lights in the front. (they have a 3-wire pigtail and are made to twist into a housing. What I need has 2 wires and attaches to the housing via 2 screws.) Do you know the # for the front lights? Are they still available? |

What "yellow parking lights in the front"? The parking lights are the same lights as the turn signals. They are operated at a bright intensity for the turn signal function, and at a dim intensity for the parking lamp function. They take a 3-wire socket which holds a 2-filament bulb. If you are not talking about those lights, you are not talking about the parking lights. Please be specific as to exactly what lights you mean. |

Maybe…maybe not. Let's let the original poster tell us exactly what lights he has in mind. That way we don't have to guess at it. |

Those are the park/turn lamps. They require a 3-wire socket with a metal twist-to-lock body. If yours do not accept that socket, you'll have to show us a picture because somebody probably installed nonstock lamps. |

I removed the sockets. They are nowhere near as bad as I thought. (When I originally noticed the left one not working, I wiggled the ground wire, and it just fell off w/the integral spade snapped off inside the ground wire terminal. Upon closer examination today, It seems the PO had snapped it off, and then tried to clip the terminal to what was left of the root of the spade.) I will clean them and navel jelly the rust off. I'll make new ground straps w/eye terminals, and make the ground connection at the mounting screw, not the spade. So is the grille not original? (I recall reading in Allpar or Wikipedia something about 70 introducing a blacked-out grille.)
