Not 100% sure but I would try some pick a part yards. You might be able to rewire them with a different bulb too but not 100% sure on that one.

Does the piece still work and they just don't plug into the housing any longer? If that's the case I'ld just tack them in with plastic JB weld to get past inspection until you can fix them correctly.

What is the exact issue? Melted bulb holder? Broken bulb holder? also what bulb is it as there is 2 different ones in the front?

You can find the main turn signal bulb(front) holder at any parts stores,they are the ones for the 3057/3157/3457 bulbs and is a easy cut/splice fix and may need to modify some to make them fit.The smaller bulb holders are a bit harder to find but they are out there.The rears you must buy a whole new tail light housing to get.

The dealership also can get pigtails with the correct connectors,cheap also.Basically a new buld holder and about 12" of wire and about $15-$25 depending on bulb size.

it may be that dodge durangos share the same bulb holder and wiring as the libs, i had some pretty good luck stealing stuff from 2 durangos that was in a junk yard in new bern for patching back up a lib that was in a front in collision

and they didn't seem to have an issue with me pulling the bulb holder and cutting a 6 inch pigtail from it

I guess it depends on which piece you need and what the actual problem is, I have bought lamp holders and such from rockauto that came with 3-6" pigtails for dirt cheap for other vehicles

yea.. i dunno, ive looked all over and cant find anything for it.... Its the peice the front turn signal bulb plugs into, also the same piece the parking light plugs into. The front of the jeep had an issue with going underwater like 3 years ago and the place those bulbs go into kinda rotted out. I'll keep hunting but a part # sure would be helpful
