1st gen ls400 tailight bulb socket.
so i think my driver side tailight upper bulb socket might be messed up.
this is the tailight assembly thats on the body of the car, not on the trunk. When i turn on the lights it lights up, but when i hit the brakes the light on the upper lense of the tailight turns off.
anyone know where i can find the socket for the tailight or what i can do to solve the problem?
thanks.

Since you already got to the bulb, you prolly don't need this:

However, there was a loose screw holding down the wire coming into the back of the socket in my 90's trunk mounted tail light. I kept getting the bulb out light on the dash until I found and tightened the screw.
I did have the trunk harness wire break too but still check out the socket assembly.

Actually look at the condition of the socket.
I had one that had fused the 2 leads together due likely to a harness short issue.
After grafting in a new socket I stripped the ground wire out of the harness & attached to a bolt in the trunk.

I realize this is an old thread, but I also have a bad socket on the drivers side tail light (the "side marker", or bottom light).
One of the terminals inside the socket appears to be burned, and replacing the 1157 lamp did nothing.
I have been unable to locate a new socket. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Do you know if all sockets connect to the tail light housing the same way?
