Im looking for the bulb sockets that twist and lock into place in the dash.The thing is though I need them to have wiring on them. I rewired my blazer and used auto meter gauges. I kept the bucket that fits behind the gauges and I need to get the turn signal indicator and a couple other factory located bulbs put in. I will be running led bulbs in the sockets if it matters. Does anyone know where to find something like this or if they are even made?

You can probably take some of the info from my thread here and modify to work with what you have, how you want it: http://coloradok5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=304941

Just solder a length of wire to the existing bulb socket.

Just an FYI, I noticed the "PC" series bulb (apparently what the soldered bulb/socket assembly is designated as) holders are designed slightly different. The older sockets don't hold as well in some locations.
I assume this is due more to heat damage of the housing from the bulbs, not a real design change. But the PC series have an extra bump of plastic to better keep them tensioned in the housing.
You CAN remove the bulbs from those sockets with some work, but they aren't the same bulb as the standard 194. Another reason I replaced all of them with LED's.
