I’m trying to find a front turn signal socket for a 2012 Nissan Quest. The dealer wants $40. Autozone wants $6 but doesn’t have it in stock local or online.

(not my van, but the same one just happened to be driving by)

DISCUSSION (25)

I would imagine the holder conforms to some kind of standard. If you can figure out what that standard is you should be able to find a multitude of options.

Agreed - secondary option would be to try and find one in a local junkyard.

Do you have a part number? Could always try amazon or something like that.

It does seem to lead somewhere.

I tired to find it on autozone, but I can’t find where your screen shot is from.

I tried NAPA. No dice online. You’d have to call your local store

The socket is made for AutoZone by Wells, and is also in use on:

Camry : 2006 - 2008

Corolla : 2007 - 2014

Highlander : 2011 - 2013

Tacoma : 2005 - 2012

Tundra : 2006 - 2011

I don’t know if these guys have it:

RockAuto doesn’t have it available anymore, nor Amazon, so my suspicion is that it’s no longer made - though I didn’t see any way on Wells’ website to see.

You can get a couple of BMW badges for $15 each.

I just called wells and they said for that part number, it is not for Nissan. WTF is going on? should I get it anyway?

For $6, you can afford to take the chance.

If it has the right lugs on it and the right bulb interface, why not?

Some of the parts houses end up keying in funky uses manually to where even the manufacturers don’t know what their part fits. For my Galaxie, for example, there’s a universal trailer hitch that is listed as a fit -and it does fit! - but it’s not actually a universal as far as the manufacturer knows. It’s for a Kia , of all things. O’Reilly just put it in their system as universal because it might as well be.

If that list is correct I can snag one tomorrow from a junk yard and mail it.

That is a few miles from my job site.

In all honesty, if you’re enough of a DIY man, anything is an universal fit ;)

that looks like it is for hondas. I talked to a guy from a parts store and he said Dorman doesn;t have an offering for the quest
