Replace Wires on Front Turn Signal / Park Light Contacts

[Jackalope]

I'm replacing the wiring in my 1958 pickup, and came across something that is making me scratch my head. I got a new wiring harness for the pickup, and it comes with new wires for the turn signals on the front (2 wires). I took the turn signal apart and found that the bulb contacts where the wires hook on are crimp-on style. Is there anywhere to get these small crimp contacts, or is there a way to rig the old ones onto the new wires? I thought about butt-end connectors to splice the old wires onto the new, but there's not enough room in the turn signal housing. Thanks!

Depending on the style of your lights, the bulb socket can be replaced entirely, or simply attaching new wires will suffice. On my rig I just soldered new wires into the park lights, but when I did my tail lights I found a replacement light socket for a couple bucks at the local parts store which proved to be a far better solution. Check out my build thread "Joseph's '51 Wagon Build" to see how I did it if you like.
