I replaced the bulbs in my turn signal/parking lights for my 84 k10. I noticed a piece of metal falling out of the socket on the passenger side bulb and ignored it (ignorantly). Now the the bulb won't come on and will stay solid when using the turn signal. I compared to the other side and learned that the metal was a grounding tab. I have the three wire socket.

What is my options here? Buy a new socket? If so, from where? I looked for a way to add a tab but have not found anything not the forums. Any ideas?
