I see these on ebay but I'm sure any Napa has them locally.

I e used these before they aren’t any better than the factory ones , I’d stick w factory and alter w a ground . I bought a new factory style harness for my convertible figuring maybe they’d fixed things somehow but it’s the same , so gonna ground mine too on the convertible soon agreed 69 birds have the worst lighting situation I’ve seen and that’s saying alot as I’ve owned Maseratis and MGA s Lucas electrical systems are notoriously bad and I think they are great compared to the 69 bird. Lol
