I cannot find a back up light socket anywhere. Someone told me I could probably get one for about 10 bucks. I called a saturn dealership who told me he could get me one for $57 dollars but I thought that was a lot. Is there a cheaper place to get them or are they sometimes called something else? I've spent so much time searching that i'm going nuts. Thanks in advance, sue

Hi there, after spending hours surfing the web I was almost convinced that these did not exist. Then I called a junkyard and he said I could yank one for $5 bucks. He said he had a lot of saturns but he didn't know the years so I bought myself a little star driver thingy so I can take the tail light off to look at once I get there. I have no idea if one is different than another, etc. Thank you for the advice. The fun part has yet to come. -Sue
