    OK so my low beam socket is basically fried and needs to be changed. Have gone to Autozone and Advance and both places had the same part. Went to get it fixed today and told I got the wrong part and that those 2 places don't sell that part as I checked. The part on my car now both headlights is a 3pc wire headlight socket and the only 1 the stores sell is the 2 piece socket. Anyone have insight on this issue?

    Got a picture?

    I tried looking up part numbers and for the 9006 bulb and 9005 bulb, both are 2 pin sockets/connectors.

    The turn signal socket was 3 pins though.

    It's the low beam though and all numbers match up. The turn signal lamp is fine

    As stated the low beam light is a 9006 and is just a 2 pin/2 wire set up. Whatever you were shown is not the low beam socket.

    This is a low beam (9006) socket
